The Java editor is an editor for programming with the Java programming language under Windows . This version of Windows can be used in GNU / Linux distributions such as Ubuntu with Wine . According to the Wine AppDB, Wine is fully supported on Linux. The software is freeware , has a simple design and has low system requirements for the computer. Because of these properties, the editor is particularly suitable for schools and students.
In the heise software directory, the editor is among the top 100 (as of January 2013) and in 2010 was one of the 30 most popular programs of the year.
Range of functions
The Java editor enables classes to be modeled using graphical operating elements and in a UML view, as well as the design of graphical interfaces ( GUIs ) and the interactive creation of objects. Programs can be run and debugged . An installed Java Development Kit is required , which can, however, be installed directly from the editor. There is also an integrated web browser and file manager. Many programs such as the Java compiler Jikes and Turtle can be installed directly from the editor and are embedded in the program. For example, you can not only work with the standard compiler, but also use the Jikes compiler.
Many common functions that have been popularized in other development environments have been taken over from the Java editor and are now also available here. Particularly interesting for schools are, for example, the interactive creation of objects and the colored scope display in the editor - both developed and popularized by BlueJ - now also available in the Java editor.
The installation directory also contains a large number of examples for Java and JavaScript programming.
For the visually impaired, the Java editor offers the option of setting the font size. GUI forms can also be created without using the mouse .
The Java editor is available in German, Dutch, English, Portuguese and Spanish and can be supplemented with additional translations using simple text files.
