All depends on what features you are looking for. If you want a simple editor
with color highliting and compiling features you can use textpad, vi(windows
version). Kawa is also light and featured editor. If you go for any GUI
assembling editor everything is very heavily bundled with lots of things.

Well, JBuilder exceeds the good criteria but it's definitely not
lightweight.
Give it a try! Download the free JBuilder 4 Foundation at
www.borland.com/jbuilder

UltraEdit is a nice lightweight programmers editor. You can download a trial
version from www.ultraedit.com. The purchase price is US $30.

Try EditPlus, it's free to download and costs $30 to register. Several developers
here have been using it and like it.

My favourite is JCreator. This is free and an excellent light weight IDE.
I am sure, u will simply love this.

By far the best FREE, feature-rich, flexable, Cross-Platform editor is Emacs.
It feels the same on all platforms. There is an add-on package the Emacs
called JDE. It makes developing Java in Emacs very rapid. JDE can be found
at: http://sunsite.auc.dk/jde.

By Far the best around.

I really like Jext. It is a free all Java text editor available at jext.org.
You can also get full source code.

Another choice might be JBuilder Foundation available for free from borland.com.

Lastly, if you can find a copy of PFE somewhere on the web, it's a good text
editor. It just doesn't have syntax highlighting.

And if you are used to vi or vim and need to get up to speed on Emacs, check
out http://grok2.tripod.com for a quick primer.
