Hi guys,

As a student I had access to an application bundle for Java development that had the ability to edit your code, compile and debug and then run the applets.

There was a small license fee to pay.

Could anyone direct me to an application that has all the above and is simple to use and install?

Eclipse is (probably) the most widely used Java development environment. The best part is that it's free.

Eclipse may be more robust than other Java IDE's but I'd still argue that it's relatively simple to use.

I agree with Gox, eclipse is the way to go, but you may also want to take a look at Netbeans. I use it from time to time and it seems to be more of an all-in-one package than eclipse:
