I'm new to Java and looking for an easy-to-use IDE. Should I choose IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, or VS Code? What are the pros and cons of each for beginners?

Iam going to practice java which ide could be the best, I have already used IntelliJ and eclipse, is there any better ide than those 2. if not tell me which one is best IntelliJ or eclipse

What's the difference between using an IDE like Eclipse and using a text editor like Atom when making Java programs?

Does the IDE make it easier in any way? Does it pinpoint flaws in your program and tell you why something might not be working the way its supposed to? Why do people even choose to use IDEs as opposed to using text editors?

I'm new to Java, got a background in Javascript. I'm finding Java really difficult because even the smallest errors will lead to 100 other errors and the error messages you get in the compiler are very hard to interpret and figure out.

Would I benefit from using a IDE?

About a week ago I posted a thread in this sub asking for good resources to start learning Java, and I got several really good answers. I have decided to go with Big Java for the moment, and if I decide that I like Java and wish to continue learning it I will buy some more resources. But I am struggling with it :(

All of my limited programming experience has been Matlab and Python. Disregarding Matlab, which was for a class, Python is a scripting language. I can open my text editor, type my function/program and then just run it like that. But when I try Java it seems so much more complicated :( I have to make a project, following special naming conventions which I don't really understand, then make a class inside the project, find a way to compile it, and then run it to see if the code is working. This is very complicated compared to Python, and Big Java doesn't go into much detail about it. It just tells you to use your preferred development environment and expects me to know how to use it.

Can anyone recommend a good IDE for Java? Hopefully it is simple to use. I currently have BluJ on my computer but I don't know if that is a good one to use or not. Also, I apologize for not posting this in r/learnJava but last time I posted there I didn't get any responses due to the small userbase

My great university decided to teach us Advanced Numerical Analysis in Java despite never teaching us Java beforehand. I know basic mathlab, don't know anything about Java and I have to learn it by myself in a very short time (weeks). My professor recommended me an Editor from 2000s that is obviously outdated. What are my options? Sorry if this is not the proper place to ask this.

For learning Java should I use eclipse IDE or cursor?

I'm currently using VS code (text editor) for my java. Can you guys suggest me java IDE which is easy to use

This semester at my university we are going to be learning Java and i was wondering what IDE i should use - up until now i've used VS and VS Code and dipped into programming on Ubuntu both directly and with WSL.

As far as i've seen Intellij and Eclipse are recommended for Java, but i was wondering if coding on VS code or Ubuntu can offer me a faster learning curve experience or will slow me down?

What are your recommendations?

I am taking my second Java course next semester. In the first Java class I used Sublime and the terminal and it worked fine for me but this time I was thinking of moving up to an IDE. I basically am just looking for something simple that will allow me to compile in the IDE and help with debugging. Eclipse and Netbeans looked pretty complex for a beginner. Thanks

Hi, I am trying to learn Java.

I'm probably going to learn it on both Mac and Windows.

For Mac, is there any lightweight IDE recommendation you guys have?

Then, for Windows, is it possible to use Notepad++ or is it recommended for java? I am working through a textbook "Programming and Problem Solving with Java".

I like Notepad++ because it is very lightweight, and I have past experience from botting Diablo II using it.

Best!

I have been using vscode for python, but now in school they are going to teach us POO in java, so i woder if a can keep using vscode or is a better option like netbeans or eclipse.

Any tips on other ways to setup an environment for JAVA development? Thank you guys!

I've used VSCode for Python but now I'm beginning to learn Java. Any IDEs that are excellent for beginners? I was told VSCode isn't the best for Java.

I am currently learning JAVA and I have a mid-range laptop, I need a lightweight IDE to solve problems and to work on. I have used IntelliJ but it is heavy, is there any lightweight best IDE?

Looking for a good IDE. I am in my second programming class, java 2. I used Terminal on Mac for the entire first course and think I know the syntax and formatting stuff well. I've downloaded IntelliJ because it is free for students and a professor recommended it. But I am having trouble adapting to how projects are created and stored.

Can someone recommend a good IDE? I would like to stick with IntelliJ if possible but am just super confused on how it works. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi! I'd like to know which IDE I should use for Java and C++: Eclipse or Visual Studio.

So I can continue learning Java and start C++ later because I have been using jGraps for school and I want to move to a different one for my personal projects.

I'm new to java and I'm gonna be taking a class on it this coming semester. Would sublime be a good to write java ? Or would I be better off with intelliJ ?

What is the recommended Java IDE you know?
