All that depends upon your needs. Different features differentiate different IDEs. What i could suggest is that go with what you feel the best In my experience, personally i use NetBeans for developing Desktop applications as i feel it comfortable and also clean. It is simple to learn too. And for web development, i prefer Eclipse Indigo, because i have personally used it for developing my iGo4iT Search because it has provided me a plugin to deploy apps to Google AppEngine. Eclipse really do have a wide range of plugins that are useful for the developers, especially for the web application developers. You can also take Amazon Beanstalk plugin for Eclipse for example. It is helpful when you want to deploy your applications to the Amazon servers.

Ok. By the way, could i also know why it is not recommended to write code in the constructor and only in a separate method and then call that method?

First of all you didn't set text in the JTextField and also you've not even enabled the user to write into the JTextField. Because, setEditable(false); means the user cannot edit the text in the text field and also there was no text in the Textfield. And also you do not need to create object for the class GUI in actionPerformed() because this method was written in the same class only. This means that you are performing action on the object 'g' which you've created. You can directly access them, there is no need of creating the object.

int i =2; System.out.print(" Run " +(i+1)+ " "); This is the code. Keep the brackets.

A super class reference variable has the capability to hold its sub class object but a sub class does not have that capability. As MyThread is subclass of Thread, you can write Thread t=new MyThread(); But not MyThread m=new Thread(); That's false.

You've already set the name to the thread in the constructor itself. Why are you again setting the same. This works fine. It probably will not return null. You'll need to call setName() on MyRunnable object and not on Thread object. By the way, the setName() method in MyRunnable object is not at all a name for the thread. It might be just for printing purposes. Do you want it like that only? Remove runnable1.setName(thread.getName()), try calling the setName() method in the class that you've written (MyRunnable). It should work! Test once.

Multiple inheritance for classes is however not supported by Java unfortunately. It is limited for interfaces only. Alternatively, you can use multi level inheritance that gets the same as the features of the multiple ones. Here is a simple trick that you can do to achieve this.. Let the super classes be S1,S2 class A extends S1 { } class B extends S2 { } class C { // write the code here by creating objects for A,B // This could be good if S1,S2 are abstract and that // you have implemented the abstract methods in the // classes A,B. So you can create objects for A,B // access methods in them (the implemented ones) and // also the normal ones. }

For commercial purposes/learning purposes Java is divided into Core and Advanced. The difference is, core covers the basic Java which might include introduction to OOP, some utilities, string handling, threading, awt etc.. while advanced means quite higher end topics usually for professional development like JDBC, Hibernate etc.. J2ME (also known as Java ME) is for developing apps for mobiles and other embedded systems. Usually you might have come through embedded systems and the same applies here.

Thanks for the suggestion. But that worked in my system. We can add JLabel to another JLabel because JComponent itself is a container and we can add any component to any component. There is no limitation. The add method does it.

What really is the error in my program? I couldn't understand. You'll need to have those image files (the background and the rat) to see them. That may be the possible error because it has worked in my development environment.

You might not need if you have a grip on the basics of Java. If you have then you can go ahead referring android books.

Herbert Schildt's Java The Complete Reference Updated and Expanded for Java SE 7 will be of good choice.
