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

I have been using java for 2 years now since it is the main programming language in my college and i was coding on Eclipse IDE but i started to hate it and want to change to other options

My friends recommended these two for me

1- IntelliJ IDEA 2- Visual Studio Code

I have looked for both of them but couldn’t decide which one is better for me

In your opinion which one of them will you choose and please tell me why

Thank you

Edit: Thank you all for your assistant and tips i have decided to stick with IntelliJ IDEA and so far i really love it, i tried VS code and it was code but it has some issues i also gave neat beans a try but it didn't work for me and i didn't really like it,

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 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 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?

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!

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 !

For learning Java should I use eclipse IDE or cursor?

Wanted to get quick consensus of what people are using as their primary IDE? I was an Eclipse guy until I used IntelliJ and loved it. I don't use Visual Studio Code for Java at all but I'm getting direction from my company that we should using VS Code as our Java IDE.

I don't agree with this but I haven't really done too much research on this and curious by asking the community what IDEs are people are using for Java development.

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

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.

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?

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?

I'm a recent graduate trained in Spring, Spring Boot etc., I would like to know which IDE you are using in production for Spring, Spring Boot etc.

Hey,

Beginner Java dev here, as I have been doing my own research and learning about the language. I noticed that most if not all developers I have come across don't use VS code as their IDE. They use other IDE like IntelliJ or NetBeans.

I have been using Vs Code since I started to code. Do you Java devs recommend for me to use another IDE for best practice?

Thank You

Holaaa, estoy usando VS para Java ya que se me hace más bonito pero no sé si en los laburos se usa netBeans, Eclipse o Intellij IDEA

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?

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.
