Java Forum / General / March 2008Development Environments in Java?
I have been writing C# .NET programs but I also want to write some Java modules to develop interactive maps similar to www.muckety.com and quintura.com. I have found the VC# environment from Microsoft very good for debugging, faster coding, and greater visibility in the code. The VC# software will automatically list methods, properties and classses and there are faster ways to search. I know Java can be coded just using WordPad but this will not show classes and debugging is very hard. I assume these issues and the slow download times have hindered Java development. I am assuming people are still using applets, or are servlets now more commonly used negating the need for slow downloads and plug-ins? Is there a comprehensive development environment in Java as potent as the VC# one from Microsoft and are plug-ins still needed in browsers to run Java Applets or can browsers automatically have the plug-in included?

There are plenty of excellent IDEs for Java that do all the things you list for "VC#". > I am assuming people are still using applets, I think applets are not as popular as they were some years ago. > or are servlets now more > commonly used negating the need for slow downloads and plug-ins? I get the impression that people use JSP for some of the things that applets might once have been used for. There is also an alternative deployment technology called JWS. > Is there a comprehensive development environment in Java as potent as > the VC# one from Microsoft Potency is somewhat subjective. There are sophisticated development environments for Java with support for debugging, refactoring code-completion, syntax highlighting, on-the-fly compilation, ... > and are plug-ins still needed in browsers > to run Java Applets Yes. > or can browsers automatically have the plug-in > included? Yes. Not all browser vendors choose to include such plug-ins as standard. The same is true of ActiveX, Flash, .NET, Silverlight, etc. > I have been writing C# .NET programs but I also want to write some > Java modules to develop interactive maps similar to www.muckety.com > and quintura.com.

Java IDE's does the same thing. > I know Java can be coded just using WordPad but this will not show > classes and debugging is very hard.

No. Practically all Java developers use an IDE. > I am assuming people are still using applets, or are servlets now more > commonly used negating the need for slow downloads and plug-ins? Applets are no that popular any more. I think Flash has somewhat filled that niche. Servlets and JSP are server side and are a replacement for ASP/PHP/ASP.NET not a replacement for applets. > Is there a comprehensive development environment in Java as potent as > the VC# one from Microsoft Plenty. Eclipse, NetBeans, Oracle JDeveloper, IntelliJ IDEA, Borlands Eclipse cone, IBM's Eclipse clone. > and are plug-ins still needed in browsers > to run Java Applets or can browsers automatically have the plug-in > included? If you want X plugin working in a browser you need X installed on the client PC. Java or Flash or whatever. Arne Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
