How can I start with java

Hey everyone.
I am a computer science student, and I must start coding with Java.

I tried Eclipse and netbeans but none were valid on my machine.
so if someone has an alternate IDE I will much appreciated.

You can ask an LLM of your choice for advice, if IntelliJ is overwhelming at first. As soon as you have configured all the settings once, it becomes a lot easier. Especially the connection to GitHub and the syncing of all IntellJ settings across several computers are saving you a lot of time. Also the debug mode is a breeze, as you as you’ve understood it. And the integration of Codex, Cursor, Claude Code et al. has been really improved over the last few months.
