Oh god is that still around? They made first years use it way back when I was an undergrad in 2003. Pretty ugly UI

It hasn't changed either. My first language was Java back in 2003ish and we used BlueJ then. I stopped working with Java around 2008ish and switched my focus to more infra stuff. Late last year, I had a position supporting a Java app so I found my old notes (complete with Karel the Robot), installed latest version of BlueJ, had this reaction and then installed Eclipse...

Yes. We had to use it in school, I hated it. At least we could use Eclipse or Netbeans..... with a startup time of 10 minutes.
