Re: Text editor and command line
I think most people will do this when they first start out. Especially if they follow the Oracle Java tutorial -
"Hello World!" for Microsoft Windows (The Java™ Tutorials > Getting Started > The "Hello World!" Application)
But once you start to program properly, I see no advantage to using a text editor what so ever!

Re: Text editor and command line
I used notepad for the first year I was learning Java- then I switched to JCreator, which I used all through college. Now I use eclipse.
I absolutely recommend using as "bare-bones" an IDE as you can stand when first starting out- doesn't get much more bare bones than notepad. I've seen a lot of people over-rely on features found in an IDE (autocomplete, gui editing) and come out worse programmers because of it.
