[Techtalk] Re: [Newchix] Java compiler for Linux

[Walt]

I use Netbeans (link previously posted) and love
it... The early versions were kind of slow and
lagged when developing Swing apps, but the
current version (I'm using 3.4) is quite smooth
and has nice syntax highlighting and (maybe
this is part of syntax highlighting...) it kind of
pre-parses the file for compile errors and underlines
them like misspelled words in an Office app.
That's probably old technology to you professionals
at programming, but it's the first I've seen it, so
pardon an amateur's effusive praise. :-)
