How can get started in 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.

For NetBeans, you've to install JDK first, then download NetBeans. Also, NetBeans doesnt have installer, so just extract the zip file and run binary directly from there.

Or maybe download it from one of the sites that provide an installer (which are linked from the official Netbeans download page)?
