When we started to learn a little programming at the university, we used
blueJ to get familiar with Java. It's a very neat little IDE with a very
intuitive interface, that shows you every object as a box and it uses
arrows to show, how they are connected, so that you understand, how
things interact in your program. It really helped me a lot in getting
the basic ideas about object-oriented programming before we moved on to
eclipse.
