For a newbie = search for JGrasp
its straightforward and short learning curve - some folks say its best to
use the command line and notepad the first couple of weeks - JGrasp makes
debugging easier.
Some IDEs would confound a newbie - they have a steep learning curve -
especially for someone new to java.
But JGrasp at JGrasp.org - or - BlueJ -
my $.02
