Java *is* free, at least for the uses you most likely have in mind. WTD's link is what you want, just thought I'd clear up the fact that you're not pirating it here or anything Razz

It's officially free.

Assuming you're on Windows, here's a more direct link:

WITH AN IDE (Netbeans): http://192.18.97.134/ECom/EComTicketServlet/BEGIN3698AB5C54F34D7CA2DB4FF34C2D19C6/-2147483648/754923711/1/562454/562430/754923711/2ts+/westCoastFSEND/j2se-1_5_0-nb-4_0-bin-oth-JPR/j2se-1_5_0-nb-4_0-bin-oth-JPR:3/jdk-1_5_0_01-nb-4_0-bin-win.exe

WITHOUT AN IDE (Just the Java SDK): http://dlc.sun.com/jdk/jdk-1_5_0_01-windows-i586-p.exe

If you're new (to Java or programming in general), learn to program without an IDE.

Use GViM if you're on Windows, or just ViM if you're on Linux.

Or, you know, a GUI text editor works just as well, and does syntax highlighting too. Textpad is good on Windows.

well Vim does synax highlight. but i'd recommend gui over cui anyday specially if the gui is done right. (well specially for text editors/word processors)

GUI text editor for editing... Command-line for compiling and running.

i feel stupid just asking this question but after i install it, it goes into "My Programs" and after i go into the folder there are like a million other folders...so anyways how do i open Java?

Start -> Run, enter "cmd" and hit enter. Now try to run "java" and "javac". The former is the program that actually runs compiled programs, and the latter is the compiler itself.

'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Ok, then you need to add it to PATH. Which version of Windows?
