Simple editors like Notepad, Gedit, edit+ definitely allows us to write a program, but it is always difficult to code, debug and manage even smaller applications. and profession IDEs like Eclipse, Netbeans JDeveloper are definitely not suitable for beginners.[They are pretty advanced to students]
What if we have an IDE which allows the learners to understand the basic coding principles of java, Fundamentals of Object Oriented Programming[OOP] with the pictorial representation along with syntax highlighting, scope highlighting and other cool features?.. sounds good right.
BlueJ is a simple Java based IDE developed by Kent university for the beginners and students of Java programming language. The coolest thing about BlueJ is it not only allows us to interact[compile, execute] with complete application or program but also single objects.Hence we can create Objects and execute its methods graphically.
Important features are:
- Create classes and interfaces through wizards and diagrams
- Create directly object of a class and execute its methods rather than executing complete application.
- Debugger, Terminal etc
- Syntax Highlighting
- Scope Highlighting
- Code completion
- Navigation View
- Switch between source code and Documentation
