DrJava is a lightweight Java IDE designed primarily for students and beginners in Java that is actively developed and maintained by the JavaPLT group at Rice University. Its interface has been developed using Sun Microsystems' Swing toolkit and therefore it has a consistent appearance on different platforms. DrJava has the ability to interactively evaluate Java code from a console and to present output as well to the same console. It has many other features that have been designed for advanced users as well.
