I have tried using some browser based IDE's like cloud9 IDE recently. But it doesn't have direct support to code java programs. And I also read that we need to follow certain tedious procedures to write and compile java codes.
Is there any browser based IDE that will permit me to code and compile and share java applications directly? Also, does it have support for java web applications?
There is an ide called eXo Cloud IDE which has support for java language programming. It is the only cloud IDE to support java language according to this link http://www.sdtimes.com/link/35860. But this IDE is still in the beta stage.
Here is another one, JDoodle.com, in this you can run save and share java programs online.
Here's a few to try.
For Java, https://codenvy.com has a powerful Maven based editor that offers git integration, build, run, and deployment. they also plan to expand with other build/run environments this year.
Also if your an Eclipse fan, Codenvy looks very eclipsy*. With a Java debugger which I think is a must for any editor.

Here's a new one, which DOES support Applets as well. You don't need to sign up to use it.
