-- Posted by squirellplayingtag at 9:51 am on Jan. 22, 2005 Anyone know of a good Java IDE for linux. I've been shifting through freshmeat.com but nothing sticks out as something nice. -- Posted by telomere13 at 11:33 am on May 3, 2006 Eclipse is supposed to be the best overall, but it has been called "too complicated for its own good" on more than one occasion.  The free Borland JBuilder is fairly good, but it once apparently decided to delete all of the .java files in one of my project (I had a backup, though) so I'm not really sure about its stability. Overall Java IDE's are pretty weak on Linux.  If Windows is an option go with JCreator, but from the sounds of it Windows isn't an option.
