Off course Netbeans... Netbeans is supported by Sun.. i.e. that every new feature in Java is done immediately by Netbeans unlike Eclipse... No...? I beg to defer :) Eclipse is a better IDE based on which many of the advanced IDE's for Java are build like WSAD (Websphere Studio Application Developer) or RAD (Rational Application Developer) both are IBM products for advanced Java programming. They contain many features that Netbeans does not have..
.java files can be opened using an IDE (like Eclipse or NetBeans) or with notepad.exe.
No, Netbeans is an integrated development environment (IDE).
Eclipse and NetBeans are the most popular. Also used are IntelliJ Idea, JBuilder and JDeveloper.
Eclipse is a IDE and platform for developing web-application but MyEclipse is a plugin support to eclipse for developing web application. vinod
You are best off looking into downloading an IDE such as Eclipse or netbeans, as they are tailored towards development using the Java programming language.

No, netbeans is not a compiler. It is an IDE. I hope it will help.

You can write it with Windows NotePad, although using an IDE such as NetBeans or Eclipse is recommended. If you mean you want to learn Java, take a look at the tutorials at the Oracle site.
You download it from the Java site - www.java.com. To be precise, there are different downloads; for the end user, all you need is the Java runtime. For developers who want to write Java programs, you'll probably want to work with an IDE. There are several options for an IDE, including Eclipse, Netbeans, and others. The IDE includes the required runtime.
Netbeans is primarily a code editor and Java compiler. Although it supports the C++ language, it has no C++ compiler or linker. For that you must provide your own.
