Hello vajj and welcome to the forums

Jcreator is a Java IDE that most schools use to get you into Java because it is simple and lightweight.

I personally started out using Eclipse. I have used Jcreator before but once you use Eclipse, you'll never want to go back.

Please read through this Eclipse tutorial I wrote. It will show you how to dowload Eclipse and run your first Java application:

i'd say go straight for eclipse. It's got loads of features JCreater doesn't have, yet it's way easy to use and you don't need to use any of those advance features to write good console applications. Any version will do, but I like using the latest they have.
