Good day dear. Let the question. I am starting to learn Java and would like to consult you, which compiler should I use to write Java code? Does the company http://www.embarcadero.com/ produce a product for creating Java applets and scripts ..?

I thank everyone for their help in the council.

    ... applets ...

    5-6 years ago, the applets "ruled", but now they are almost never found, because they have some security problems, and the programmers are trying to avoid them.

    ... and scripts ...

    Java is not a scripting language, but a language that is compiled into bytecode, then this bytecode (during the execution of the application) is either interpreted or it can be compiled by the JIT compiler into machine code.

    which compiler to use for writing Java code

    Java is officially owned by Oracle, and you can use the JDK - Java Development Kit from the same company (there already has a JavaC compiler) for writing applications in this language: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/ downloads / jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

    From books I can advise two:

    And if you are completely new to programming, then pay attention to this book:

    Fain J. Java programming for children, parents, grandparents

      which compiler to use for writing code

      The compiler is usually compiled, and the code is written in the editor or IDE.

      For writing code, you can use the free IDE to your taste: InjellijIDEA, Netbeans, Eclipse.

      I will disprove @ tch74 , Embarcadero does have a development environment for Java - JBuilder and J Optimizer, but I would not recommend it:

      • due to the fact that the latest version - 2009 and new is not expected
      • due to separation from java life and ecosystem
      • because of the marketing policies of embarcaders and horse price tags
      • one
        Thank you for correcting, otherwise I somehow lost sight of these two products: JBuilder and JOptimizer. I will correct my post now. - tch74 pm
