Eclipse vs IntelliJ

[el_vandragon]

So in class I've been using eclipse and it works fine but my friend swears that IntelliJ is better and I was just wondering if on my home rig I should use IntelliJ or use eclipse. Any input is good. Thanks!

As someone who uses both (Eclipse for FRC programming and IntelliJ for everything else) I would say that IntelliJ is far superior. Has much better integration with VCS, better autocomplete, better suggestions, error checking doesn't require you to re-save your file to get it re-checked... I could go on, but I think you get the point. Eclipse is a great piece of freeware, but it really does have some pitfalls and feels very unpolished in some regards.

 

If you have access to IntelliJ I would highly suggest switching

Alright, I'd probably just be using the free version but at the moment that seems to have everything I need and it looks really cool too. Thanks!

Yes do redeem the student license for he full version. I'm a student but i would be willing to shell out the money for it. It's great

From the aforementioned friend:

You should use IntelliJ for FRC programming too! Http://github.com/MeRPG/Torque-temp
