+1  Q: 

BlueJ, NetBeans, Java

Hey:

I just started with Java and downloaded Netbeans, i kind of like it, but i hear a lot about BlueJ and i was wondering wether if downloading and using BlueJ would be of any use when im happy with Netbeans .. or simply tell me if i am comparing two things that aren't comparable and should coexist :D thanks, Samuel

+2  A: 

BlueJ is geared towards teaching Java, whereas NetBeans will provide many more advanced features. If you're happy with NetBeans I would stick with it. BlueJ will be more limited in the long term.

A: 

Also try Eclipse. It's the most popular IDE (and rightly so) for Java.
