I have tried almost every text editor and Java IDE out there. From Netbeans, Intellij, and even J++ as well sublime text editor and Notepad++.
I have personally found that Eclipse is probably the better of those. Netbeans as said above is very memory intensive, plus it does have some other quarks that I didn't like its just very bloaty software reminded to much of Visual Studio. Cool thing about Eclipse that I have found is it runs pretty much on anything Mac Intel & RISC, XP, Vista, 7......you name it and will more then likely run. Why this was important to me is I have several different platforms at work and home to do Java tutorials and that worked out really well for me. Another issue I have is that its kinda difficult to export Projects from Eclipse. One other thing I really don't care about Eclipse is everything has to be in a project, which can be a pain, but in reality that's how you would work in a real world atmosphere. I agree with everyone else here though that its your personal preference. I have heard the real "Java Cowboys" use vi, emacs, and notepad. To maybe help or not in your decision I understand that Notch the creater of MineCraft uses Eclipse. -) On Nov 9, 2:57 pm, Hussain Johar <[email protected]> wrote: > when i started learning java few months ago, everyone recommended > eclipse , however i saw one of the tutorials on youtube of a guy using > netbeans, it reminded me alot of vb IDE , im lazy "like most of the > programmers out there" i loved the click and drag features. > > but since im new to this whole thing and i dont consider myself good > enough yet, i'd like to ask you guys, which one do use? and why? > > thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JPassion.com: Java Programming" group.
