Try eclipse

www.eclipse.org/

in my opinion Eclipse is the best choice...

I prefer Eclipse. However, IntelliJ has better support for maven if your project has multiple modules.

IntelliJ IDEA. I used to use Eclipse but IntelliJ is much more reliable for large projects.

Eclipse

Thanks. I decided to go with IntelliJ. One question: Does IntelliJ IDEA support Ruby on Rails development as well?

There are many java editors, but the most popular are Eclipse and Netbeans

www.eclipse.org

https://netbeans.org/

There are two most used java platforms: eclipse and netbeans. My choice is netbeans because it is well developed (supported by Oracle itself) and less Linux make-it-youreself like.

Eclipse is good, if you want to change. But my choice is netbeans because it is easy to use.

What about prices?

Netbeans is totally free.

IntelliJ does not seem to be completely free, no?

Netbeans (free, recommended by Oracle itself);

Eclipse (free, recommended by Android);

Jdeveloper (free, recommended for Oracle DB);

BlueJ (free, recommended for UML design);

IntelliJ IDEA (not sure whether it is free or not, Android studio Beta version is based on it).

Regards..

Netbeans (*developed by Oracle itself ;) )

IntelliJ IDEA is partially free. Some features like UML integration are included only in a paid "pro" version. My latest experience with android studio shows that the platform (IDEA) is much more convenient than Eclipse, but still is not my own choice for Java development (the interface is too complicated for my liking).

The most two that are used Eclipse and Netbeans

I dont know why do you want to change NetBeans....? Its a good IDE and has lot of features. You can use Eclipse but for performing different kind of activities you have to download the plugins and configure them with your workbench.

I will suggest you that continue working with Netbeans......

i completely agree with @pradeep Gupta..

NetBeans is good one for JAVA

I think Eclipse is very good for Java. It is free and small, and it does not need to install.

And also, there are many useful plugins can be introduced according to your prefer.

Of course, NetBeans is good, too. Especially if you need to code for UI.

Eclipse is a Complete IDE and is good

It really depends on what you want to do in Java. For example, if you want to go for some research tool where you need to develop a plugin, then Eclipse is far better than Netbeans. For a detailed comparison, check this link

Beginner : Nano, Vi, Vim, Notepad, gedit, Textedit, Notepad Plus

Intermediate : Jcreator, JDeveloper, Netbeans, Eclipse, Blue J

Advanced : Netbeans, Eclipse, IntelliJ.

I would have to agree with Mr Zhang. If you are developing a UI, NetBeans has a well developed designer tool for this purpose, but if you are coding anything else, Eclipse is a solid, stable and actually a very lightweight IDE, compared to NetBeans.

Personally, I prefer Eclipse, mostly out of habit. Also, when developing Android applications, Eclipse is a default IDE that comes with Android Development Kit bundle.

I'd say NetBeans has pretty much all you need (it is what I am used to). But if a change is what you want, then by all means go for Eclipse as it is fully customisable and open source. Besides form design plugin (WindowBuilder) is available for Eclipse too.

ok

You can't go wrong with eclipse
