What is the best free Java program i can use to program Java?
I have Eclipse, but its being a real pain in the neck. So im looking for a new Java program. Anyone got any suggestions? I already have BlueJ, jEdit, and NetBeans, but they don't work, well except for Netbeans. It runs and works fine, until i want to compile it, but it wont let me.

BlueJ, jEdit and Netbeans won't compile because they don't install a Java compiler. You have to install a Java Software Development kit (SDK).
So to sum up, you install BlueJ or jEdit or Netbeans AND THEN install the Java SDK.

Look for a Java SDK. You may have a better chance using a Linux based compiler than a Windows version though. (I recommend it actually) There are free ones, but you need to find them.

If you are just trying to compile then make sure you have a JDK (java development kit) installed and use command prompt (Start>Run>cmd).
Example: At command prompt type
javac MyJavaProgram.java
if no errors then type:
java MyJavaProgram
to run the generated class file

I use bluej and it works well in Windows 7. You need to make sure you have the correct JRE and JDK too.
