MUST see places for beginners

Places you MUST see

If you are learning Java and have a reliable internet connection,
having a look at these places is a must :

For everything Java:
http://java.sun.com
http://java.net

Excellent IDEs:

Netbeans - www.netbeans.org
Eclipse - www.eclipse.org
IntelliJ IDEA - www.intellij.net
JCreator Pro - www.jcreator.com

For libraries (jars) :
http://jars.com

For articles, links, blogs, reviews:
http://theserverside.com

For source code:
http://javaboutique.internet.com/javasource/
http://www.planet-source-code.com/
http://www.thefreecountry.com/sourcecode/java.shtml

If you want to read and write XML files in fewer lines of code:
http://dom4j.org

If you want to build a lot of java files together and do not prefer and
IDE- Ant:
http://ant.apache.org
(If you haven't used Ant, your life as a Java programmer is poor and
without much value!)

If you want the biggest and the best for free:
http://apache.org

If you want servlets and JSP - Tomcat:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/

Java docs of everything:
http://www.jdocs.com/

Everything of Javadoc:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/writingdoccomments
http://filia.uni.lodz.pl/mocny/doc/j2sdk/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javadoc.html
http://barney.gonzaga.edu/java/tooldocs/javadoc/standard-doclet.htm

For help if you get stuck:

http://forum.java.sun.com/

and

of course, right here: http://groups.google.com/

Google groups WILL give you your answers.

Sun Java forums give you answers within a day or two but you have to
register (2-minute process, but well worth it - once people start
knowing you, you get more and more help - you get help even if you are
new - that is what forums are for!)

and

of course, right here: http://groups.google.com/

Google groups WILL give you your answers.

It even seems to answer questions that weren't asked.

Places you MUST see

Great post, thanks. I have incorporated most of your links in various
places in the Java glossary.
