Best Program for writing Java?

[krwell]

Whats the best program to use to write Java code? I need to create web based interfaces for database tables.

I like vi =)

But I assume you mean a RAD IDE, I'd say check out Borland JBuilder, I never really used it but C++ Builder kicked ass.

Forte by Sun is nice and free!

I use forte for GUI stuff(because GUI is evil ) and jedit(jedit.org) for the rest.(make sure to look at its plugins)

vim is better than vi

Of IDEs I like Inprise JBuilder. It has even a free version that anyone can use.

emacs + JDEE

emacs+xref.

I rarely need to do gui stuff, and it's usually simple enough that I can write it in myself.

krwell, you on a windows machine? for some reason a lot of the responses are *nix based. course, both emacs and xref are available for windows too.

Anyway, creating web based interfaces for database tables should almost definitely be done without a WYSIWIG tool, since the sizes are obviously dynamic, and it's easy enough to do in code.
