What IDE do you guys use for Java coding and why? :D

Intellij IDEA. Love their debugger.

Use eclipse. It crashes from time to time which helps you to remind yourself to take a break during long hours of coding.

@immutable *it crashes at startup most of the time

Fixed it

@immutable Don't need an IDE for that when you have people around ready to ask some questions at any time.

IntelliJ IDEA

I mostly use eclipse but intelliJ is also nice

Vs code. Vs code for everything

Netbeans downloads random stuff in the background, soooo annoying.

Microsoft Wordpad!

Eclipse, since I develop a plugin and I have to

@theScientist used to love netbeans till i met intelliJ

Powerpoint or Paint. Didn't you know that Microsoft prducts can do everything except the thing they should do (and were designed for)?

@mohammed Their debugger is insane.

Java plain text files are too easy, I prefer to write compiled .class files

I work in a text editor - sublime

@theScientist Netbeans here. I use ir because of the UI Editor. I haven't found another UI Editor like that

@theScientist because it has a lot of great features, prefer it too over eclipse however I have to admit that sometimes for no reason the configs of the project get fucked up and it may be a overhead to fix it ( you know like when you fix the CSS but get stuck with cache.. same thing here (especially with Android studio (yes Android studio is a sub version of intellij)))

@the-nsa In the file menu there is a button to "Invalidate caches & Restart". Solves many problems many times. But still not every time. I do also get random errors from time to time when switching to another machine.

@the-nsa you closed all the braces 😂 nice.

NoIDE , because.i dont code java

I have projects scattered around Netbeans, Eclipse and IntelliJ. Generally, I use Eclipse or IntelliJ (depends on the project), but the IDE doesn’t really matter.

Eclipse for java

I've heard of IntelliJ at the stream of a Mojang Hackathon, tried it out and it was such a relief. Eclipse is just pure garbage. I cannot put into words how much I hate it.

With its android compatibility and the later released Android Studio, IntelliJ is the absolute get go for every Java developer I'd say (as long as you don't rely on some eclipse plugin).

Also the whole jetbrains product line is really advisable, like CLion, PyCharm and PhpStorm. Wouldn't use anything other, except Visual Studio for C on Windows.

NetBeans

@Coolpuppy24 True, I still think its a better choice than a full blown IDE. If you can get past the microsoft thing

@luper Better choice for what? I use sublime for simple script tests or looking through some code and stuff like that, but when coding a complete software, an IDE with auto completion and code sense and all that stuff is much more preferable I'd say.
