Java IDE
-
I have a Java programming class this semester, and I was wondering what, if any, IDE is the best. By best I mean most like Visual Studio .NET :). I need the code to compile and run in a *nix environment, so Visual J#.NET is not really an option since some of the import libraries are going to be different. My requirements for an IDE are as follows (in order of importance): (1) Intellisense - Since I don't know anything about Java, Intellisense will save me a lot of time looking through the JDK documentation. (2) Integrated Debugger - I don't want to debug with print statements. (3) Integrated help - I would like to be able to highlight a JDK class or function and click a hotkey to get information about that class, not unlike MSDN integration. (4) Class Wizard - I guess it would be nice to define the class through a wizard interface instead of typing all the stuff myself. I'm just being lazy here, but I have gotten used to right clicking on a class and adding methods in VS. I appreciate the feedback, currently I am using IntelliJ IDEA because it was the first Java IDE I came accross without that Java look and feel :~ . Before any of you reply asking why I am taking a Java class let me just say it is required, and happens to be the only class that deals with GUI's offered at the University. Yes, it seems that college professors hate Microsoft. Thanks!! Scott

JDeveloper from Oracle seems best for J2EE, IntelliJ seems the slickest Java IDE, but it costs money and J2EE sucks with it. http://www.intellij.com/idea/[^] Speaking of sucks, the person who voted everything on this thread a 1 is a worthless moron, and if you're reading, I hope you die soon. Just coz you don't use Java doesn't mean others can't discuss it. Christian NO MATTER HOW MUCH BIG IS THE WORD SIZE ,THE DATA MUCT BE TRANSPORTED INTO THE CPU. - Vinod Sharma Anonymous wrote: OK.

Hi Scott, I am using Visual Paradigm IDE for some time now and it seems to have all the features you are looking for. I am a C++ programmer for 13 years now and did not know much about Java, so my requirements were the same as yours. VPIDE supports a GUI editor, intellisense, integrated help, even for imported libraries. Best of all: its free! Visual Paradigm also has an UML tool (separate, also free) with which you can model your software and even generate some code. URL: http://www.visual-paradigm.com/ Look for the community edition. Regards, Perry

Visual J++ was a nice IDE and there are plenty of guides for avoiding MS specific stuff. That said a lot of the freebies will have caught up with it by now ;P Davy Blog for Software Testing, Bugs, Quality, Security and Stability - www.latedecember.com

I have a Java programming class this semester, and I was wondering what, if any, IDE is the best. By best I mean most like Visual Studio .NET :). I need the code to compile and run in a *nix environment, so Visual J#.NET is not really an option since some of the import libraries are going to be different. My requirements for an IDE are as follows (in order of importance): (1) Intellisense - Since I don't know anything about Java, Intellisense will save me a lot of time looking through the JDK documentation. (2) Integrated Debugger - I don't want to debug with print statements. (3) Integrated help - I would like to be able to highlight a JDK class or function and click a hotkey to get information about that class, not unlike MSDN integration. (4) Class Wizard - I guess it would be nice to define the class through a wizard interface instead of typing all the stuff myself. I'm just being lazy here, but I have gotten used to right clicking on a class and adding methods in VS. I appreciate the feedback, currently I am using IntelliJ IDEA because it was the first Java IDE I came accross without that Java look and feel :~ . Before any of you reply asking why I am taking a Java class let me just say it is required, and happens to be the only class that deals with GUI's offered at the University.

I strongly recommend you to try NetBeans IDE. I have tried many editors and this one I love most. In fact, it is the only one I like :) It has a debugger, intellisense, integrated help and class wizards. And most importantly it is free. Just try it and see...

I use JCreator which doesn't have all that feature and runs on windows. There are several others that support all that stuff you need and run under java , but theyare so unbilivable X| slow. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Memory leaks is the price we pay \0 01234567890123456789012345678901234

www.eclipse.org[^] It's way faster and much less memory hog than Netbeans , Forte , Jbuilder and all the crap out there ... It's open source , it have very powerfull plugin architecture , lot's of open-source plugins that augment considerally the editor , for instance free plugins like uml , unit testing , code metrics ,code dependencies and a lot more ... Integrate debugging , intellisense ,parameter info, quick fix errors ,customizable keys and isn't only for java , it have plugins for c++ , c# , etc ... More important , it doesn't get it in your way , ask about some hardcore emacs freaks or vim advocates :rolleyes: Cheers,Joao Vaz And if your dream is to care for your family, to put food on the table, to provide them with an education and a good home, then maybe suffering through an endless, pointless, boring job will seem to have purpose.

The nice thing about C++ is that only your friends can handle your private parts.

What about NetBeans http://www.netbeans.org/[^] ? I used this IDE and it was pretty good. I'm not sure about all the features, but I know it has a pretty good Intellisense system. ------------------------------------------ "What happened in that Rhode Island club is shocking.
