Free DrJava Download

Review

Review by FileBEAST's J.W.B:

Most of today’s programming applications are complex and difficult for beginners and amateur programmers to fully grasp. This makes DrJava a breath of fresh air, as it is a useful, robust Java editor aimed at the less experienced end of the market. That’s not to say that DrJava is light on features or functionality, on the contrary; experienced users will appreciate the depth on offer, but the simple, well designed interface makes the application accessible to a whole range of users who may have been intimidated by software designing utilities in the past. It is important to note that DrJava is an open source application, and while there have been some reported bugs and compatibility issues, the tool is a work in progress, constantly being improved upon, so such complaints shouldn’t serve as major deterrents. Essentially, DrJava is a fully functional Java application, enhanced by an excellent design, and aimed squarely, but not exclusively, at the less experienced end of the programmer spectrum.
