This is wrong.  The java command takes the name of the class, not the name 
of the file.  So, your command-line should be "java Test", assuming you 
put your class in the unnamed package.

Are you talking about BlueJ?  I think you can download that.

I use jEdit for all my text editing (from bash scripts to XML) and have 
gotten it to the point where it's basically my favorite IDE. :)

Here's the plugins I have installed:
Antelope
BufferTabs
Console
ErrorList
Gesture Plugin
Jalopy Java Source Code Formatter
JDiff Plugin
Message View
SideKick
Spell Check
Whitespace

You may not need all of those.  There are also other good ones.

If you want an real IDE, try Eclipse; I've heard it is really great for 
Java.  I've never used it.  If you are a KDE user, KDevelop has java 
support, but I've only used it for a couple of C projects, and haven't 
really gotten to like it.

All apps mentioned in this email are available from portage.
