Hi
could you please tell me the best program for java on mac os x, and where i can find it , becasue i could not understand how the xcode work (new mac user) and i am usually use netbeans and jcreator but i could not download them.
 
No intention to start a Java IDE flame war here, but you should also check out Eclipse (www.eclipse.org). I imagine it mostly boils down to preference-- NetBeans vs. Eclipse vs. TextEdit/Terminal, but with disk space cheap these days, it doesn't hurt to explore a bunch of them (the free ones, of course).

*nods* Eclipse is nice, but for me the "mount file system" first step just seems needlessly complicated (granted, it's been a while since I looked at eclipse). I was using JBuilder for quite a while, but one day I just gave netbeans a look... more or less on a whim... and here I am.

I'd *love* to see Microsoft put out a good IDE for other platforms. They do make some sweet developer tools.
 
I used to like Netbeans until v4.0. Now, I'm far more inclined to say go with Eclipse. It's snappier, and is quite a nice IDE.
 
So, there you have it... Eclipse and NetBeans seem to be the most mentioned, in several threads. Time to look over the feature sets, try both and see which would work out better for you.

You might also want to take a look at Sun Java Studio Creator, $99 US, but they have a try and buy download.
