Java IDEs and Editors

[shadowman544]

dont bother nick is delusional JGrasp sucks in comparison to most other IDEs i downloaded eclipse to use instead because it is so much nicer that jgrasp. nick couldnt run eclipse so he doesnt know the crime he has committed by using jgrasp in it's sted

I love eclipse <3
going to use it for C++ development as well

I really like Eclipse, but most of the time I just use a text editor and the terminal to compile and run my source.

I use eclipse, since it's easy to use and functional. And I hate messing around with command line compilers. It's the first one I was introduced to and I've never really used another one.

I first used text files and command lines to learn Java. My grade 10 computer science teacher told our class to JCreator, which I got used to then. But there were so many problems with JCreator (ie. sometimes you run a program and it runs a different one, the errors are misleading and confusing when I first started). So, I found eclipse with a few friends and we tried it out. It was so much better than JCreator so we pasted the eclipse files into the school computers and used them instead.

eclipse is, without a doubt, the best

We had to use JCreator as well Kam, but my teacher let me install Linux on the computer and I used Eclipse from there. Now we use JGrasp though, it's better than JCreator, but not as good as Eclipse. It's simple to use though like JCreator.
