Well... I'd have to agree with Symantec Cafe Lite.  It's a bit clunky.  I'm
still using Mickeysoft's Visual J++, despite the fact it uses Java 1.0, cos
it's got a lovely IDL and the debugger is nice.  (Using the built-in Java
debugger is agonising, to say the least.)  And it's free with the _Learn
Visual J++_ book that Mickeysoft Press have published.  The book is OK, but
I went back to Cornell & Horstmann's _Core Java_ straight away.
