Answer 2

any ide is enough

Answer 3

Thank you everyone, I have installed it now!

Answer 4

That is what I was thinking, sorry I forgot to ask you about that, should I install Java Runtime Environment or Java Development Kit? Is it easy to install?

Answer 5

Yes I meant IDE, I have tried to install Eclipse both the 32bit and 64bit but Eclipse could not be run, do you know why couldn’t I run Eclipse in my laptop? The laptop I am using is ASUS Windows 10 though.

Answer 6

I don't really know.Have you installed the Java Runtime Environment?

Answer 7

Also you can try to use NetBeans IDE,it is also very useful

Answer 8

yes it is very easy to install.But I think the JRE should be preinstalled in the system.JRE is virtual mashine for executing java bytecode(compiled Java classes).The eclipse is completly written in java.For development you need to have JDK.The JRE is inside the JDK also.
