Android Studio as a Java IDE

I was wondering if anybody knew where I could find some information on how to set up Android Studio 3.0 that would let me run Java programs in it. I am working my way through an online Java course and the instructor suggested I try a number of IDE. I have been using Eclipse and IntelliJ and I was going to try to set up Android studio or look to see if it could be set up this way.

thanks for your time
Steve
 
If you're not intending to use Android Studio for the development of Android apps, then you might as well use Intellij. Android Studio is actually based on Intellij, but with a major amount of customisation. It really is geared up for writing apps.
If you're doing a Java course then your main IDEs are Eclipse, Intellij and Netbeans.

Ya, I hope to move to making apps but wanted to get a good understanding of Java first. Just thought if I was going to be using Android Studio later on for apps I might as well see if I can use it for the Java course I'm taking. Maybe learn more about Android Studio in the process but, I think I may stick with IntelliJ.
 
Good move sticking with Intellij, as when you do come to use Android Studio, it will be familiar
