Java Forum / General / November 2006need a new Java Editor, netbeans isnt cutting it.
I have two laptops, both have intel centrino duo processors, both run on XP Media Center edition, one a 1gig ram, the other 2gigs. Currently, I use Netbeans to write code. Today, I was using the faster laptop, I've been coding for about 6 hours, and NetBeans has crashed twice. To me, that's unnacceptable. What are recommendations for editors to hack code?

Have you tried Eclipse ? Arne download ECLIPSE! Once set up, it does really kick a.s.

The problem may be elsewhere or you may be using a beta version. Lionel. I second the vote for Eclipse. The interface is great and so is the support for it. It also helps you out a lot when it comes to error messages, warnings, etc. The "Quick Fix" option is handy for debugging. Also, there are a lot of add-ons for Eclipse that makes coding and documentation a lot easier.

Is it just me or does eclipse require a lot of stuffing around to get working? netbeans just works out of the box. Aside from setting up where you want your workspace to be (where to save to) and what directories to create projects in, there's no setup required. It's very easy to use...it's fast...and it rarely gives me trouble. > > I second the vote for Eclipse. The interface is great and so is the > > support for it.

Thats good I haven't looked at it in a while when I last looked at it I couldn't get it to work. Also is it possible to search the java documentation from within eclipse. netbeans seems to support it but I can't get it to work. also is it possible to press f1 on a command and have documentation pop up for that command? If you are typing out a class name and looking to find the methods contained within that class, an "autocomplete" type box will pop up, for example if you were typing "System." a box would pop up showing all the methods for the System class. So the Java API is basically there for you "on the fly". As far as plugins go...they are basically like Firefox extensions if you are familiar with those. Yes you may have to download plugins for extended functionalities, but they should be self-installing and self-configuring. > > Aside from setting up where you want your workspace to be (where to > > save to) and what directories to create projects in, there's no setup [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > also is it possible to press f1 on a command and have documentation > pop up for that command?

I prefer NetBeans over Eclipse but perhaps this is just because Eclipse *was* very slow when I tried it first on Linux. Eclipse has the advantage of an incremental compiler (I don't like this feature, so I disabled automatic building in Eclipse). > Also is it possible to search the java documentation from within > eclipse. netbeans seems to support it but I can't get it to work. Shift-F1 opens the Javadoc Index Search. NetBeans automatically looks after the word you were located. Another possibility is to use Alt-F1 which opens the Javadoc in an external browser. > also is it possible to press f1 on a command and have documentation pop > up for that command? Press Ctrl-Space to get the code completion window. NetBeans automatically pops up the JavaDoc for the selected class or method. If you don't receive any of the documentation then I'd guess you didn't specify the location of the Javadocs (properly). Open Tools->Platform Manager, select the platform you're working with and go to the Javadoc tab. Press the "Add ZIP/Folder" button and select either the ZIP file that contains the JDK Javadocs or the directory...

Eclipse > has the advantage of an incremental compiler (I don't like this feature, > so I disabled automatic building in Eclipse). I had a similar experience. First time I tried Eclipse it was just a tar.gz and I couldn't get it to run. Second time I tried Eclipse was on Redhat (which must be the worst of the distro's despite it's popularity) and it was so incredibly slow, Eclipse was incredibly memory hungry that there was no way of doing anything. Third time I tried it was tolerable but after looking around for a few minutes I decided there wasn't going to be anything special and I may as well not waste my time learning a new IDE. Lionel. I think you'll love Eclipse at www.eclipse.org IRAD is pretty awesome too, if you can get version 6.1. Of course, it does have a price tag. There are lots of great plugins for eclipse though. -Cameron McKenzie Author of the SCJA Certification Guide and What is WebSphere?
