Hello there

Are you guys aware of any good online JAVA IDE that supports coding suggestions and error corrections highlighting like Visual studio code?

I have very old Macbook pro (2011 edition) that does not support latest Visual studio code and as Im trying to learn Java on my own, I am looking for any online alternatives for writing and testing any java code or program that works just as well as Visual studio code.

Thank you in advance and have a good weekend.

I'm looking for an online IDE to practice at work where I don't have one on my computer.

I've tried https://www.online-ide.com/ but does anyone have anything better, particularly when it comes to autofill?

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

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. My professor recommended me an Editor from 2000s that is obviously outdated.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, I really don't know another place.

So I'm pretty new to coding, and got more interested from a computer programming course in my school, and have now started to code on for fun. I've been using J Creator LE like my school for the past few months, but a lot of people have been saying to get a better IDE. What's the best free IDE to use, or should I just stick with J Creator LE? Any help is greatly appreciated, and merry Christmas too.

What is the best free IDE for learning Java?

I'm a minor and yet don't have money, so I can't purchase any subscriptions and all but what would be a great free IDE for coding with Java? Like I can make my Minecraft Client with it? I know VS Code but people say it's a lightweight editor, not fully IDE.

Hi Java devs !

I'm a CS teacher in a public college in France, and time has come to update our techbase.

We currently teach Java 8, with Netbeans 8.2. This IDE was released in 2017, which was 4 years ago. I feel like it's time to drop it for a newer version, but we would rather not wipe hundreds of PCs if it's still the most widely used version in a professional environment.

We have an internal discussion, on whether to keep the last Oracle's release of Netbeans (ie 8.2), update to latest version (12.3), or even replace it with another IDE.

We feel like it would be best for our students to teach them the tools they'll use later in their career (even if switching from Netbeans to Eclipse or IntelliJ is quite simple), so I'm asking you this quite simple question : which IDE do you use in your current company, and do you know why this one in particular was chosen ?

Our only limitations are "it must run on Windows 10 without administrator privilege" and "it must provide a graphicaal interface for Swing application development". Maybe budget can be a factor too, though we could definitely buy a few licenses (we are dropping PowerAMC because of its price, so any spending must be justified).

Pros would be : able to manage different languages (our students also learn C and PHP/HTML/JS during their courses), git integration, database integration, javadoc/doxygen integration, maven/unit testing, maybe UML plugins ?

Secondary question : should we switch from java 8 to java 11 next year ?

Thanks a lot for your answers !

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.

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?

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

Use JCreator in class and I used up the trial at home practicing don’t really want to buy it, any good free programs that are similar?

Apologies I’d say this has been asked a lot.

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 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?

Is there any decent online Java IDEs with code completion, hot keys and collaboration features? Does anyone need such a tool? Now I can see (almost) useless complr.com and others which don't really encourage you to code at all.

Super duper newbie here!I just finished the first chapter of Codecademy for Java! Whoo-hoo; exciting!It's now suggesting I get my own IDE, the IDE suggested was IntelliJ IDEA, which has a pretty expensive price tag on it.

Since I'm suffering from imposter syndrome atm, I'd like to get some more experience under my belt before shelling out this kind of money. (I dont like doing free trials, cause I'm forgetful about that stuff)

Are there any free but effective IDEs you all may suggest for Windows? I'll even take cheap, if there's no such thing as free. So far my research has led me to Eclipse. Any thoughts?And if you're feeling extra kind, any advice or "I wish I would have known" stuff is always welcomed!

Thanks in advance!! (:

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

For learning Java should I use eclipse IDE or cursor?
