Sun Microsystems has teamed up with the University of Kent, UK, and Deakin University, Australia to produce BlueJ, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) specially suited for beginning programmers. The Netbeans BlueJ edition is meant offer a straight-forward path from academic environments into real-world programming. BlueJ looks like a good opportunity for Netbeans to organically grow a larger user base amongst the future Java developers of the world. Since there are not a great deal of tools (especially IDE's) available that cater to the needs of beginning programmers, BlueJ should see some interesting traction in the academic world. Currently BlueJ is available on Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris. Learn more about BlueJ here.
