Generally i don't recommend editors for beginners because: 1) The editors i like are not for beginners. they simple are not outofthebox. So they have a learning process. 2) The editors that i can think are good for beginners are just to simple. But if is for recommend. I can recommend (for beginners of course) if you use windows notepad++. For linux : Just use the default editor. (Insert joke about use editor for programming in java here): In java i don't recommend use editor. Java is a verbose language. Use a IDE. Some 2 IDE's recommend for java are Netbeans and Eclipse. Try both and pick one you like. I like more Netbeans but Netbeans is "heavy" application. I don't care about it because i have a really good hardware. If you have time to learn a editor. Plis give Visual Studio Code a try.

When I was starting my learning of HTML in school I was using PSPad and when I’ve started to code more I’ve started to use Visual Studio Code. I think that my way was good, for example in PSPad you can use something like helper when you press ctrl+space I think and it shows you possible commands. But when you will have more codes (and better codes) you can manage it better in Visual Studio Code ;)

Notepad++, Atom, VS Code, Sublime Text, etc. Well, if you like professional editors for software development, I would recommend Vim or Emacs.
