Best IDE for Web Development

Its great to use and lot better than most of the IDE's which are used for similar purpose

PROS

The IDE is small in size and provides a lot of features and only the extensions which we are using in the project, we can just add that in our project, thus making the final Jar smaller, which is a very good feature. I really like the IDE this way.

CONS

The collaboration with other tools is a bit of research that needs to be done in order to use it correctly

Reason for choosing Eclipse IDE

Because its lightweight and best for Java Spring boot development

Reasons for switching to Eclipse IDE

Eclipse is compact and easy to understand and compact and almost every company uses this.

Eclipse, the simplicity in a dev environment

We're still using Eclipse as our Monolithic software development tool, coding there has been a blessing, the easiness to set up an entire workstation from 0 is outstanding.

PROS

I think the feature I can enjoy the most while using Eclipse is for sure the UI, really clean, able to make and download some plugins but the best feature is for sure the simplicity of the UI.

CONS

I think they could improve the adaptability to different languages, IntelliSense sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work when switching, the competitors are crawling because they added a lot of API plugins that Eclipse does not have.

I will recommend all fellow developers to use Eclipse IDE

PROS

Extensibility: Eclipse's core strength lies in its extensibility. The IDE is built on a modular architecture, allowing developers to add functionality through a vast array of plugins. This extensibility makes Eclipse highly adaptable to different programming languages, frameworks, and project requirements.Language Support: Eclipse provides excellent support for a wide range of programming languages, including Java, C/C++, Python, JavaScript, PHP, and more. It offers features specific to each language, such as syntax highlighting, code completion, debugging, and refactoring, ensuring a productive coding experience across various development domains.

CONS

Resource Intensive: Eclipse is known to be resource-intensive, especially when working on larger projects. It can consume a significant amount of memory and processing power, which may impact the overall performance of the IDE and slow down the development process, particularly on less powerful machines.

Decent IDE for software development

I used to use it for Java development and Android development. However now I use Android studio for Android and don't tend to require Java development.

PROS

I found it simple to use and pick up for Java development. Was relatively flexible and offered lots of plugin customisations

CONS

The software for the most part was ok. It did nothing particularly special. So for niche uses (such as Android development) its development use is not as feature rich and lost out to those uses.

Reasons for switching to Eclipse IDE

Better support, more features, better integration.

ABS_EclipseIDE

I started using this when I started developing Java and switched to another ide because I didn't like its interface.

PROS

Great to have so many integrations. It also runs the codes really fast.

CONS

hard for beginners users, i started coding java first with eclipse and i had a hard time. The interface is complex so I wouldn't recommend it if you're just starting out.

Reasons for switching to Eclipse IDE

Intellij interface is better and Having shortcuts for commands speeds up my code writing.

Review For Eclipse IDE

My overall experience suggests that this is the perfect IDE for coding in JAVA, due to the fact that coding in this app is seamless and that the options available to the user while coding are not intimidating in comparison to some heavy-weight IDEs.

PROS

The fact that the GUI is perfectly laid out for a JAVA developer makes this application highly accessible for people who are either beginners or advanced in coding in JAVA.

CONS

The fact that this app doesn't allow many customizations in terms of Graphical themes or icon themes makes this app less competitive in comparison to its competitors.

Reasons for switching to Eclipse IDE

As the above IDE was required by the course I am currently pursuing at University.

Excellent for Startups

I really enjoyed the fact that I could even open netbeans based projects (with the exception of the GUI builder in Java swing). It made life a lot easier and on a budget it works very well.

PROS

I loved the fact that most of the tools to do any Java-based or even pyton-based development are free in this IDE. It gives a good introduction to new developers especially in the startup context.

CONS

There are now much better IDE's that are capable of better memory management. Unfortunate eclipse has slowly been getting heavier and heavier and has become as overweight as netbeans.

Reason for choosing Eclipse IDE

Better memory management, newer tools and Intellij has a LOT more plugins.

Developer Friendly

PROS

We use the Java IDE to manage the code written in c++ to access the devices on the ATM and check their status and make the outputs meaningful. These devices are devices such as card reader, cash dispenser, receipt printer, pinpad. Using Eclipse IDE is a blessing for the software developer because it pleases the developer with every feature. My favorite features are code completion, extensible plugins, drag and drop feature, simple and straightforward interface, meaningful bugs, debug mechanism and most importantly community support.

CONS

I am very happy with Eclipse IDE, I love every feature of it.

An average Java IDE

PROS

Eclipse has a user-friendly interface and offers extensive plugin supports. It facilitates code formatting quite well. Also, it enables you to thoroughly test your code and provides comprehensive messages of any errors or warnings in your code.

CONS

It is really sluggish and slow. The startup is slow and the entire IDE freezes from time to time. It has even crashed on me quite a number of times.

Powerful Solution To Create Multiple Software technologies With Ease

It contains many significant features, including automatic syntax validation and assistance with code reworking. There isn't a need to install a new IDE because it is an all-encompassing IDE that enables development in a variety of languages; all we have to do is install the required plugins inside the app. Teams can use it to guarantee that their applications are operating correctly and at peak efficiency.

PROS

Eclipse's ability to offer a standard platform for the creation of multiple software technologies is one of its strongest features. It helps with no code revision after execution by identifying issues before the code is executed. Wherever a caution symbol appears, we can modify the lines. In Eclipse, importing and exporting projects is quick and simple. My development has benefited greatly from Eclipse's integration with Git and other version control tools. It has a tonne of plugins, which will enable us to personalize the application and do a lot of exploring.

CONS

The AI-based auto-completion system has to be improved because it currently completes codes quite slowly. Its size and resource requirements may cause older PCs to perform more slowly. The time it takes to open and run the code can be extremely long.

Eclipse - Powerful but it requires getting used to

The versatility as a Java IDE and WSO2 Integration Studio make that it is actually quite handy for both Java and Synapse Development.

PROS

Eclipse is a powerful IDE that has a large number of functions and a multitude of views and settings. The Eclipse framework is also used in other products like dbeaver, Apache DS and therefor familiar to people with those tools. It is an extensible product with add-ons like Integration Studio makes it a versatile tool.

CONS

Eclipse has a large number of perspectives, views and so on. This makes it a bit hard to navigate between all the options. The stability sometimes also has issues. Especially when you have a large number of open windows. The options are not always directly clear as to what each option will do (e.g. a number of options have the same truncated name like maven build )

Reason for choosing Eclipse IDE

The fact that in its core it is a wellknown JAVA IDE and the fact that is offers in Integration Studio the Graphical High level view and the source code view make it easy to work with AFTER a learning curve and making sure that you do not do the things that make it less stable (i.e. many open windows)

A No Brainer choice to start Development with

I had been in teams which use Eclipse IDE for backend development of the projects, integrating with Git, pushing the code, triggering pipelines and for debugging issues. It has been a great experience to load projects, create sub projects even with modern frameworks but as the world evolves, flavours like spring toolsuite have taken over for framework specific projects

PROS

For any mid-large tier company / individuals who start their development journey, eclipse is the best fit out there to help them onboard, pamper and make them learn. From basics to advanced users, eclipse is definitely a right choice for backend development . Also the responses, notifications eclipse gives are very contextual and always developer focussed. For test automation framework projects as well, eclipse does a great job

CONS

Lack of innovation since 2 releases - almost every feature being rolled out is just minor enhancement and that is one of the reason for many to adpot IntelliJ as the choice for IDE. Also eclipse start up time, loading projects from cache has not been improved since many years and it is definitely a concern for the modern systems

Eclipse is a popular and widely used open source IDE for JAVA development

Overall experience with Eclipse IDE is good for JAVA code devlopment work. It's free and good plugins library available for customization. Look and feel can be little better though. Resource usage on machine needs to be improved. Need to make it more lightweight with smooth performance.

PROS

It is an open source Integrated Development Environment tool , so it is free to use. Lots of plugins are available in eclipse market place to customize the IDE as per our needs. Good support for Spring based application , servers like tomcat. Good Debugging Features , specially for Java code development. Simple to use IDE.

CONS

It is very resource intensive. so sometimes it makes the machine slow and consumes high CPU and memory. The look and feel is little outdated as compared to commercial IDE's like Intellij Idea. Apart from that, overall the IDE is good for cost effective software development
