As I mentioned in the other group, the above is very good advice.  I
recently found this little tool call JPad (similar to JavaScript's
jsFiddle).

You can type in code snippets and hit F5 to run it. No need to type in
the boilerplate code like defining the class, defining the main() method
etc.

It also as built in functions to display data very easily. eg:
Dump(myHasSet) gives you a very nice table-like output.

A brilliant tool to collect code snippets or easily test a Java language
concept.

NOTE:
  It was implemented using JavaFX, so you would need that to run it.
  Oracle's Java 8 I believe does include it as standard.
