Top 7 reasons to use JavaWIDE

Eliminates the need to install software.
All that is needed is a web broswer, an Internet connection, and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6 or higher
Gives you the ability to group code, share programs, collaborate, and document all in a central location.
You don't need to make copies, email code, or learn a system such as CVS or Subversion, and multiple people can edit the same program at the same time.
Documents all revisions and and keeps track of who changes what and when.
Looking at the history of the file in the web browser shows everything.
It's simple and works on Google Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari, Mac/PC/Linux.
Saving a program compiles it and runs the applet or application, all within the web browser on any platform.
Provides code completion, syntax highlighting, auto-import, automatic indentation, and other commonly desired IDE functionality.
All of this functionality is achieved by a small unsigned applet (less than 200KB).
It's free and will be open source distributed under a Gnu Public License (GPL).
We hope to release the source code relatively soon to allow you to install, run and customize your own JavaWIDE server.
You can try it out now without creating any accounts or downloading any software.

Why Faculty, Teachers & Students Use JavaWIDE

I take AP Computer Science via Florida Virtual School because my school no longer has the program. Because of this circumstance I have a free period to complete my online classes, but there are no IDEs installed onto the computers at school, so I can't work on it during school. This has caused me to be immensely behind. I love to be able to have an IDE that is online based so I can work on it during school.
-AP Computer Science student from Florida Virtual School

I type a lot of examples in during my lectures and I hope to make my lectures more interactive by having the students type some of the code.

Also, currently I make a lot of lecture code available by copying it to a web server and then inserting linkds by hand into my class web page. I hope this will provide a better way to share lecture code.

-Dr. John Hunt, Associate Professor of Computer Science at Covenant College

I have been interested in finding better ways to handle collaboration in the computer science classroom, and this appears to provide a great solution for us. Using school affiliated technology is difficult, because our technology department is reactionary rather than progressive. Outside solutions provide the most flexibility for our students.
