Describe the Edit phase- Java Program Development
Phase comprises editing a file. This is done with an editor program. Programmer types a java program using editor such as notepad, and make corrections if necessary.
When programmer specifies that file in the editor must be saved, program is stored on a secondary storage device for example a disk. Java program file name ends with a .java extension.
On Windows platform, notepad is a simple and widely used editor for the beginners. Though java integrated development environments (IDEs) like NetBeans, Borland JBuilder, JCreator and IBM's Ecllipse have built-in editors which are smoothly integrated into the programming environment.
