    Hey guys.im out of college a couple of years now and im a bit rusty at java..
    I remember myself and my college friends designed a project which had a website front end with a java programming and a database that updated quantity from input off the website.
    I use Eclipse for the java, but what other programs can i use for the database?
    i know ill need to do the database connection in Java...
    are there any free ones out there?
    And also whats the best program for the front end web design?
    I hope this makes sense! im really rusty!!

    Assuming you mean what database system to use, MySQL is a popular one for projects like this. http://www.mysql.com/downloads/
    PostgreSQL is another similar FOSS option, alternatively Oracle and MS do free versions of their DB systems if you want to mess with those.

    Most folks I know who do web design just use text editors - the built-in one in Windows could suffice, though you might want to use something with a better feature set like Notepad++.

    You could probably do it directly in Eclipse too - I've never used it, but I assume it supports HTML syntax highlighting and what not, with those myriad plugins.
