[ajug-members] Your favorite IDE

Thu Aug 3 11:21:09 EDT 2006

MyEclipse.

I have tried IDEA 2 years back and i was using it for like 3 to 4 months....later i found eclipse
and i was able to do everything i did with IDEA in MyEclipse plus tons of plugins......
May be some people like the interface of IDEA  but it's very much ok for the price....

but  I always wonder... WHAT MORE CAN PEOPLE ASK FOR FROM AN IDE???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..apart from specific capabilities....Can it code business logic??..;-))

I haven't tried the recent ones of IDEA though.....Can anyone list few things which are better in IDEA as compared to Myeclipse.

and one more thing...last but not least..
I love EDITPLUS as a plain text editor...may be because i learnt java in that piece of software..:-))
Sooooo much light....but very capable of handling large files...can connect to FTP...
edit remote files..macros and lot...I never use VI...instead i connect to the box and edit the files...whenever i have FTP access to the box..

Regs,
Shan

I used Sun's Studio One tool which is based on NetBeans 5.0. The GUI
creation was nice  but I have to admit that the whole .Net IDE market
has the monopoly on good UI creation.

Take a look at the free IDE:

Net Beans is getting better though at the web based GUI design. This
is an area where the Java community could surpase the .Net community
if we tried.
