You do not need an IDE to run a Java program, you just use the java command to run it; I assume you have the basic Jave runtime installed. If you actually want to use a debugger and change the source then you need to install the Java Development Kit from Overview of JDK Installation[^]. As to IDEs, you have the choice of Eclipse Downloads | The Eclipse Foundation[^], Welcome to Apache NetBeans[^] or Java in Visual Studio Code[^]. But you will need to decide for yourself which best suits your needs.

I had to take over a Legacy Java service at work and it was originally created using Eclipse (bloatware). I immediately installed VS Code on my dev 2022 server & pulled the code in. Ah...freedom!! There is a plugin (that Visual Studio Code[^]) will offer to install which will allow you to run a Java debugger. Couldn't be easier. And it's all FREE! Good luck.

We are a Java shop and we are pretty much evenly split between VS Code and IntelliJ. Personally, I like VS Code better. I did used to use Eclipse. The one thing that Eclipse did better was if I was looking for some text I could search across all the repositories in one place.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I'd probably install both the first time around. See what's what.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Textpad++ and other editors can do it from the context menu of the windows explorer too.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
