Java Forum / First Aid / August 2006Popular and common IDE used to compile Java
Would anyone recommend me which IDE to use for Java applications? I have used JCreator when taking Java class a few years ago. Now, I am reviewing Java stuff and plan to join a project that my friend will be doing for his brother's business (business already establishe - turning it into online). What are the strneght and weakness of different IDE out there such as netbeans, eclipse, bluej, etc. Which IDE are mostly used by current Java programmers in industry? Thanks. > Would anyone recommend me which IDE to use for Java applications? No. Or rather, other people might, but I would recommend not using an IDE until you gain confidence with Java.

Will you be using J2EE (web-services) for this site? > What are the strneght and weakness of different IDE out there such as > netbeans, eclipse, bluej, etc. * An IDE can make complex things simple, but beware that if you do not understand what the IDE is doing, the IDE will end up doing something that - fails.. - in a way you don't understand and .. - cannot correct. > Which IDE are mostly used by current Java programmers in industry? ...hmm. But if you insist upon pursuing the 'most used' IDE.. I cannot speak directly for industry (the one commercial job I had, involved a lot of developers that were supposed to use JBuilder, but could also use Eclipse if they wanted), but instead I'll make a slightly different suggestion. The 'best' IDE for someone asking here is the one that most people *contributing* to these groups use, for the simple reason that if you ask a question about an IDE nobody uses, it is less likely to get an answer. ON that simple basis, here are the number of hits for some of the major IDE's over the last year of posts across the comp.lang.java.* groups. Hits for last year on c.l.j.* groups Eclipse 3,250 NetBeans 912 JBuilder 136 BlueJ 53 JCreator 42 The most frequent hit, by far, is Eclipse.

Yes.

Great. Thanks for the data. I called my friend and asked what he is using. H he is using Eclipse at his regular job and will be using it for this project too - he used to use Netbeans at his previous job. I am glad to know that this group iis fond of Eclipse. > Andrew T. ... > > Hits for last year on c.l.j.* groups > > Eclipse 3,250 [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > use Netbeans at his previous job. I am glad to know that this group iis > fond of Eclipse. Well, that data came from *all* the Java groups, rather than just comp.lang.java.help (other ones are .gui, .programmer, .advocacy,..). I would actually expect that use of IDE's (in general) was lower on c.l.j.help (this group) than, for example, c.l.j.programmer.

You did say that. > I would actually expect that use of IDE's (in general) > was lower on c.l.j.help (this group) than, for example, > c.l.j.programmer. I see. Thanks. > Andrew T.
