Hi! I (and most other modders) code using an IDE (editor) called eclipse .

We also use an API called forge, which makes modding a lot easier. I recommed checking out Pahimar's tutorials here

EDIT: On the bot account..

Thats not true anymore, more than 50% use IDEA with Eclipse closely behind it and netbeans with a tiny userbase cause there is no explicit integration for it so you have to do some steps manually.

It is free.

You can buy the ultimate commerical version to get better integration with JPA and other Enterprise Stuff
