  Hello,
  
  I'm currently studying Java right now. I was wondering if there is anyone who could recommend me a good compiler for JAVA out there?
  
  I've tried the sun jdk 1.2.2 Do you think thats the best compiler by the way?
  
  Thanks :-)

  So far i know JDK 1.2.2 is use for java compiler. Coz i use this in my project also.
  Now, i found new compiler, that is JBuilder. I don know how it function, but my lecturer said its better than JDK. Maybe u can try it.

  i thought JBuilder is SDE?
  but then.. not very sure as well. cuz i never tried using it.
  JDK 1.3 is out if you wish to try.. it's not too bad.. but in security model and policy it differs a bit from JDK 1.2 i think.
  
  Cheers

  a freeware called Textpad is a good candidate, but for those pros outside, u can try the Jbuilder, really user-friendly once u got the hang of it, though theres alot to learn from Jbuilder becos of soo much function its making my head spin

  Use Sun's Java compiler from javasoft (aka http://java.sun.com)
  
  Sun's java compiler is good, and its JVM got hotspot (JIT - just in time compiler) .. it is fast ..
  
  don't use M$ JVM .. soon they want to stop to support it as the got a new doll .. C# .. which is basically M$'s technology replica of Java .. so be proud with the original, not the replica

  JDK 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 are Java 2, they have no different security model. They use file policy model and security domain. Applet can be restricted even though they are signed. The security file/domain rules. The security differences from jdk1.2-1.4 are, there are more inteligent classes to be use for security purpose, eg: public key encryption, automatic https, digital signature, etc.
  
  JDK 1.1 uses different security model (sandbox model). Applet can run with full power if it is signed.
