Java IDE

[Guest]

Hi, so I have seen a lot of disgusting shit code from people and I've noticed that the way that their projects are formatted are not compatible with all IDEs and in a lot of cases you have to end up reformatting them in a very disgusting way and sometimes ends up in the entire project not working. So, what would be the best IDE to use for compatibility for Java on all projects. 

 

The way my school went was from BlueJ to Eclipse to Netbeans but they were pretty shit and didn't really explain this essential part. Thanks.

Hmm im' currently second semester for computer science and my classes still use Eclipse

Netbeans or Eclipse.

 

If you don't like the Java specific IDEs with their Java specific features, just use vim or sublime and compile yourself.

We used Eclipse in CS1/my 2nd to last semester at uni. Fucking hated it, and hated typing outdated crap into it due to the teacher being so ancient.

I have never liked Eclipse. My teacher couldn't get colors working like BlueJ's amazing beauty. Yet my friends were with a plugin of some sort. I will never give up BlueJ in my heart because it was the only IDE I had used that had colors at the time. I'm willing to go with BlueJ, Netbeans, and Eclipse, but they don't seem compatible with each other.

Does it compile in those or do you need a dedicated compile or some sort? If dedicated, how can I make one?

Try IntelliJ community edition, before I got visual studio 2010 ultimate, jetbrains was usually my go-to company for IDEs. Especially because being a student I get a lot of free keys. They give you free keys while you are a student. Also it has some nice themes.

you will need JDK installed, navigate to the directory of the java file in shell or command window and compile the file using the java compiler. See the documentation here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/win32.html#win32-2b

I second this. IntelliJ is by-far the best IDE that I've ever used for Java. The ultimate edition is also free for students!

This, I can recommend intelliJ as well

 

If you're a student, and you have an email address from your school, you can get free jetbrains stuff (including the full verion of intelliJ) here.

you will need JDK installed, navigate to the directory of the java file in shell or command window and compile the file using the java compiler. See the documentation here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/win32.html#win32-2b

Or set the JDK as a PATH variable, so you don't have to navigate to the JDK location every time.

Another vote for IntelliJ Idea. The transition from Eclipse to IntelliJ Idea was difficult and frustrating for me because I was so accustomed to Eclipse, but in the end it was worth the trouble because it was so much more fluid and stable than Eclipse. 

Compatibility should not be an issue between IntelliJ Idea and Eclipse, especially if you refrain from using more than one module per project in IntelliJ.

I've seen an overwhelming amount of results for IntelliJ, IntelliJ it is 

 

BUT I STILL LOVE BLUEJ!

IntelliJ FTW!
