I am looking 4 a good IDE for Java. Do you have any one to recommend? Thx a lot. Hi i have worked with NetBeans 4.1 and Eclipse 3.1 .Both of them seems good. really depends on what kind of app u want to develop, i use eclipse for j2ee and it's ok > I am looking 4 a good IDE for Java.

It is not cheap/free, but it was the best investition of my life!  SignatureAndrey Kuznetsov http://uio.imagero.com Unified I/O for Java http://reader.imagero.com Java image reader http://jgui.imagero.com Java GUI components and utilities hi all. my favorite is .... "eclipse". and ... "jcreator" is very fast. >hi all. my favorite is .... "eclipse". and ... "jcreator" is very fast. I am using eclipse. My main complaints are: 1. slow start up time. 2. refuses to reformat until I have all the syntax errors corrected. But I need the reformatting to help me find the errors.. 3. Error messages are extremely confusing. Pretty well all they do is point you to roughly where the problem is. The actual wordings are deliberately as obscure as possible. Nice things: 1. global rename. change a class or method name, and everything in the universe is fixed not just the Java source, not just the project you are working on. All the clients get fixed too. It is so quick you have no excuse not to implement a better or more consistent name if you can think of it. 2. organise imports. Adds missing imports, tosses unnecessary ones. 3. reorder, add definition of variables and methods right beside where I am working and then sort it later to where it belongs, 4. the instant recompile catches errors right away. It takes some getting use to, but it is sort of like a typing tutor to teach you to get it right first time with the instant feedback. 5. tree structured navigation makes it much easier to find anything across a sea of projects.

An additional advantage is, that IBM's Websphere Studio/RAD suite is based on it and in wide use. So, if you get Eclipse, you'll have little trouble adapting to IBM's tools. Here's a short guide : http://javalessons.com/eclipse/java-eclipse-1.html --- Paul Hamaker, SEMM http://javalessons.com I just moved from JBuilder to Eclipse 312. Takes some time to get used to the new keyboard shortcuts & lingo. Still not use to a single row of tabs in the editor pane. CTRL-SHIFT-E just doesn't cut it for me. I like to see all the files open & which have been modified (especially for bulk code changes) Any suggestions on Java Swing development plug-ins to use with Eclipse (open-source/freeware prefered, but not required). >I just moved from JBuilder to Eclipse 312.

Not sure why they did it. I have become accustomed to being able to select some text, hit CTRL-K and see the next occurrence of that text using the last find options used. >>I just moved from JBuilder to Eclipse 312.

Window->Preferences->General->Keys->View (Category: Edit, Command: Find Next)->Edit->Key Sequence etc. >Window->Preferences->General->Keys->View (Category: Edit, Command: Find >Next)->Edit->Key Sequence etc. thank you. It now works with the exception you must dismiss the find dialog box first.

I have posted my answer to this often asked question here <http://ide.profectus.com.au> I use IntelliJ at my day job and Eclipse when consulting privately. I've also use JDeveloper and JBuilder, both of which were inusably slow at the time but may be better).. IntelliJ PRO: Easier to use than Eclipse, works out of the box, includes wizards to create beans, servlets, web projects, etc. You almost never have to hand modify a configuration XML file (like web.xml). Lots of plug-ins available. IntelliJ CON: Costs money (around $300 as I recall) Eclipse PRO: Its free. There are an insane number of add on plug-ins available. Eclipse CON: The plug-ins are very buyer-beware, many don't work well and can be difficult to get them to play together. There are some excellent web design plug-ins (I use one that includes Tomcat integration) but no wizards for web development. Setting up Eclipse to work with all the plug-ins you want will require an investment in time. -Robert > I am looking 4 a good IDE for Java. Do you have any one to recommend? > Thx a lot. Netbeans www.netbeans.org The new NB 5.0 will be released very very soon (in a week or so) now there is the NB 5.0 RC2 (release candidate 2) which is pretty much production quality. It has great GUI builder and so many features are available out-of-the -box (unlike eclipse where you will have to go plugin-hunting to make it usable). I also find NB more intuitive and easier to use than eclipse. check it out... http://www.netbeans.org > I am looking 4 a good IDE for Java. Do you have any one to recommend? > Thx a lot. I usually use a plain text editor (jEdit). I find that, when I use IDEs, I get lazy and start to rely on things like code completion/popup and such instead of remembering for myself. Also, c'mon. It only takes two additional keystrokes to type "for" instead of "4"! > I am looking 4 a good IDE for Java. Do you have any one to recommend? > Thx a lot. I have used SunONE Studio v6 & v7 which are based on NetBEans foundations. The only drawback I have seen is that its too much memory consuming & also comes with SunONE App server by default. Otherwise it has its own advantages against the other IDEs in the market. Give it a try. > I am looking 4 a good IDE for Java. Do you have any one to recommend? I've tried a lot of them myself and ended up with Netbeans. Not too much overhead (the feeling that the IDE is doing all the work) but also enough tools and gadgets to make it usable and easily expandable (recent example being the addidion of javahelp). I'd recommend going over to http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/IDEs.html since your milage and personal taste may vary. Having said that, and depending on what you're going to use this for, I'd also like to advice you not to rule out the plain text editor perse. After having spend a few evenings behind Netbeans makes starting a program typing out the common stuff like "public static void main( String[] args) { ... }" tedious but its still part of the program. Sometimes IDE's can make you lazy and that is not always good or desireable, IMO at least. SignatureGroetjes, Peter .\\ PGP/GPG key: http://www.catslair.org/pubkey.asc I used NetBeans, and it was OK, but I'm using WSAD (WebSphere Studio Application Developer) now, which is based on Eclipse, and I really like it. What I like about it so much is one of the Java views; you bring up the file in the editor and the navigation pops open on the side showing the folder in which the file lives. I like the search features, especially the class file locator. I don't know what I'd do without this tool. It's got quite a learning curve, but after that it's worth it. It handles the labyrinthine Java structure in a way that's not confusing. > I used NetBeans, and it was OK, but I'm using WSAD (WebSphere Studio > Application Developer) now, which is based on Eclipse, and I really [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > worth it.

The views in Eclipse aren't initially as elaborate as those under WSAD, but you can change that; http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/ge ttingStarted/qs-02e.htm and http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/ge ttingStarted/qs-02e.htm are a good start. Look on sourceforge.net for a variety of plug-ins so you can enhance your IDE even more.
