    Get Eclipse from EasyEcplipse.org. This is used by most professional Java developers. EasyEcplise has several versions which include all the plugins. If you want to do web development, then get the web development one etc.

    The cool thing is that you can use Eclipse to do PHP, C++ and other development. Once you learn some of the Eclipse basics, that knowledge is useful to other languages as well.

    Eclipse is another one that is free as well. You could just install the JRE and JDK as well and compile your code from the command line...if you want to be ridiculously tedious like that. All of that stuff is free. java is free to use and most of the IDE's for it are free as well.
