I stumbled across this:

http://en.literateprograms.org/Vending_Machine_%28java%29

It is a java vending machine, I want to read it and also follow along, write the same code.

What’s the fastest way to get java setup such that I can just start coding the java vending machine as I read along?

I was in the process of downloading the Java SE Development Kit 6u17 for Windows, Multi-language, when I looked to the right hand side of the same page and just realized that I can also download Netbeans.

Again, the question is what’s the best java IDE or compiler that a newb like me can use to do the java vending machine linked to above.

Or

What are the java programmers using to code java with?

I am new to java, C++ is easy to install and start coding, likewise so is PHP, but java just seems like an interesting new beast to me, thank you for not flaming.

    Just for the record. If all you want to do is actually just do some minor editing, compile and run, you can do nicely with your favorite editor along with javac from the Java Development Kit (as opposed to the Java Runtime).

    Have a look at the Java Tutorial which tells you all you need to know. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/index.html
