DrJava is a lightweight Java IDE designed primarily for students and beginners in Java that is actively developed and maintained by the JavaPLT group at Rice University. Its interface has been developed using Sun Microsystems' Swing toolkit and therefore it has a consistent appearance on different platforms. DrJava has the ability to interactively evaluate Java code from a console and to present output as well to the same console. It has many other features that have been designed for advanced users as well.DrJava offers a JUnit test facility. For information about JUnit and JUnit tests, check out http://www.junit.org. Click the "Test" button to test all open JUnit tests, or select the file you want to test on the left menu, right click, and select "Test Current Document". The tests will be run, and the output will be displayed on the Test Output tab at the bottom of the screen. If all your tests passed, you will see a green bar.
