learn JBuilder in personal or enterprise version

[adonet]

I have a few years program experience in Access, ASP.NET. Now, want to learn Java. What version should I use? JBuilder in personal or enterprise version?

I would start off with notepad/textpad and the command line compiler.

Get the SDK from

https://jsecom15d.sun.com/ECom/ECom...com15d.sun.com-386f:40dc39d4:4ffdec931aad52d2

Using an IDE to learn a programming language just means you learn the IDE - not the language. Keep it simple to start with !

If you plan on learning java

http://java.sun.com/learning/tutorial/index.html

has good (free) tutorials. Just a reference. Good luck!

That SDK link died - go to :

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

and choose the "J2SE v 1.4.2_04 SDK" in blue highlight.

I think it would be OK to use a text editer that will syntaxt highlight for Java, but I agree that starting with an IDE probably isn't best.
