The tutorials are bound to work correctly for it :).
Aside from getting the paths setup, after that you'll be ready to rock.Īnd Eclipse being actively and openly developed is one of the most documented IDEs out there. Instead of Notepad++ (which I love, but it's not 'made' for Java), I'd recommend Eclipse especially if you have a grunty PC (it's a bit memory hungry). The 'learning curve' associated with IDEs like Eclipse or Netbeans initially mostly involves what you already have above - knowledge of setting class paths, environment variables and so on.
