"One of my favourite IDEs out there is BlueJ" — James Gosling, creator of Java. |
What is BlueJ?
BlueJ is an integrated development environment (IDE) for
the Java programming language, developed mainly for educational purposes,
but also suitable for small-scale software development. It runs with the
help of JDK(Java Development Kit)
BlueJ was developed to support the learning and teaching
of object-oriented programming, and its design differs from other
development environments as a result. The main screen graphically shows
the class structure of an application under development (in a UML-like
diagram), and objects can be interactively created and tested. This interaction
facility, combined with a clean, simple user interface, allows easy
experimentation with objects under development. Object-oriented concepts
(classes, objects, communication through method calls) are
represented visually and in its interaction design in the interface.
