I've always used Eclipse and am currently using Juno. The Maven support got much better, but other stupid things seem to have "broke." For example, switching tabs into the XML editor (or pom editor) seems to require calculating Pi to 10 million digits each time. Actually, I think there is a memory leak somewhere and its just a GC going off, I should load it in VisualVM and see. There are other annoying things about Eclipse with respect to settings, but they can usually be "fixed" by editing some file in the .settings directory.
Tried IntelliJ once and it was terribly slow (and looked a bit ugly on Linux)... maybe I should try 12? At the end of the day... anything's better than vim/emacs :-) Bill- On Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 8:03 AM, Martin Grigorov <mgrigo...@apache.org>wrote: > My main problem with Eclipse was that it mixes the classpaths for main and > test. > If you have separate config files in the test classpath some weird things > may happen. > > There is a ticket about this since March 2008: > https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=224708 and it says "we need > someone to help us to implement it". > It strange because Eclipse is OSGi based, i.e. they should have a very good > control over the classloaders. > > So I moved to IDEA and I find it much better for my needs. > > > On Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 2:52 PM, Richard W.
