    It's kinda hard to beat TextMate on Mac OS X for any language almost:

    Not free unfortunately, but well worth the asking price - I think the trial is 30-day fully functioning...

    TextMate is great, but not free as you say.

    Personally I tend to go for free apps like Smultron, not full of error checking niceties but does the job well!

    +1 again.

    or you _could_ go for IDEA which is supposed to be pretty good but you have to pay for it.

    +1 for Eclipse,

    unless you have a compelling reason, for example you are just starting to learn java, you really should use Eclipse or another IDE. Its a bit of a learning curve but give it a week and you'll never go back...

    This is probably the best approach until you study or work on smaller projects.
    Later on, with bigger projects where you'll need to work together with other developers you'll appreciate the fact that a modern IDE will automate many of the routine tasks for you.

    You can try NetBeans:

    i agree, javac and a text editor of your choice for when you're studying etc.

    work environment depends kinda as the company could push a certain IDE on to you.

    Aquamacs can do pretty much any language you like.

    Smultron is the best overall scripter for OS X. It has syntax definitions for 10s of languages. Also, it's perfect for HTML editing as it syncs with Cyberduck.

    Netbeans or Jgrasp?

    Both run rather well on mac systems.

    I'm a Netbeans man. Works well on linux and mac os but a bit slow on windows. Most of the guys on my team use Eclipse though. There's not much of a difference between them.
