Question What is your favourite Java IDE?

Hello everyone.

I'm interested to know what is your favourite Java IDE and why?

I personally use Eclipse because in my line of work I code mostly console applications which do not need any kind of user GUI.
I also love the XML editing functionality which I need on a daily basis.


Here is a little bit of information on each IDE listed:

Eclipse - A very good, feature rich IDE. Supports plugins for added functionality.

Netbeans - Feature rich IDE with advanced GUI builder.

JBuilder - Nice IDE by Borland with built in Swing UI builder.

JCreator - A lightweight, fast IDE ideal for first time developers.

JDeveloper - Java IDE built by Oracle. Built in Oracle DB intergration.

Textpad - A step up from Notepad. Very lightweight with Syntax highlighting.

BlueJ - A nice, easy to use IDE for beginners.

IntelliJ -Intelligent Java IDE intensely focused on developer productivity that provides a robust combination of enhanced development tools.

Dr.Java - Lightweight IDE designed for students and beginners.

Javelin - Graphical IDE.

jEdit - A cross platform programmer's text editor written in Java that is customizable with plugins.

TJI - A lightweight IDE designed for teaching Java.

Nice thread Flash.

I too use Eclipse because I code mostly console applications but I also use Netbeans IDE for the easy creation of GUIs.
You can't beat the ease of Netbeans for creating user interfaces.

When I first started my SCJP we used JCreator which is a good lightweight IDE but doesn't have enough functionality for my liking.

Yes man, I am happy with eclipse in most case. But some time I have play with netbean because
It is easily to install plugins & itself is mostly complete to many case.
In Eclipse U need to compatible with plugins & ur eclipse version.

So why do I more prefer eclipse?

I am happy to customize myself with each plugins in eclipse.

For Beginner, I suggest Use JCreator or BlueJ.

My favorite is NetBeans, for no reason other than the fact I've used it from day one.

I'm comfortable with it, so I don't see why I should change. Although I don't tend to use the GUI Creator, I prefer to write my own when I have to.

Well, since Eclipse doesn't require intallation i've been able to get it running off my flash, I just need to ensure I can in college then i'll be set for messing around whilst at college

So thats a thumbs up for Eclipse.

I prefer Eclipse, simply becuase it's my first Java IDE. I've tried NetBeans once in a computer lab, but I find Eclipse's interface much more intuitive.
