Information on IDE's for Java
BlueJ[/u]]
Personal Thoughts:
Code:
BlueJ is an integrated Java environment specifically designed for introductory teaching.
Although it isn't very known and is young in the development stages and is very simple with not as many features as other IDE's...wait..where was I going with this?
Eclipse[/u]]
Personal Thoughts:
Code:
Eclipse is a multi-language software development environment comprising an integrated development environment (IDE) and an extensible plug-in system. It is written mostly in Java and can be used to develop applications in Java and, by means of various plug-ins, other programming languages including Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, and Scheme. The IDE is often called Eclipse ADT for Ada, Eclipse CDT for C/C++, Eclipse JDT for Java, and Eclipse PDT for PHP.
Eclipse is one of the most "user friendly" IDE's out! Mostly being used for creating scripts for bots in terms to RuneScape related forums.
JCreator[/u]]
Personal Thoughts:
Code:
JCreator is the development tool for every programmer that likes to do what he does best: programming. It is faster, more efficient and more reliable than other Java IDE’s. Therefore it is the perfect tool for programmers of every level, from learning programmer to Java-specialist.
I have never actually used this before but I have heard many good things about it.
NetBeans[/u]]
Personal Thoughts:
Code:
NetBeans refers to both a platform framework for Java desktop applications, and an integrated development environment (IDE) for developing with Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, Groovy, C, C++, Scala and Clojure.
NetBeans is the one of the most "user friendly" IDE ever created. It's very powerful and anyone that is starting to code in Java should use this.
