Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 00:19, 26 April 2025 (UTC)- Keep A quick search of google scholar shows this IDE was (is?) commonly used in college instructional programs. Some articles compare its pedagogical value to much larger IDEs like eclipse. Google scholar even asked to correct Dr Java to drjava, so it seems its a fairly common term. Sourcing deserves a closer look, but as WP:NSOFT is an essay, not a guideline, I will invoke WP:PRESERVE here and suggest this be kept in the absence of accepted deletion rationale + the availability of academic sources for improvement.
