Best Java IDE

Is there any site which ranks the Java IDE's available in the market?

Ctrl-Space dot completion in codeJBuilder, Eclipse, JCreator all have this. It's becoming a neccesary feature to even be considered.
ANT integration, for those of you who want itEclipse, JBuilder, probably JCreator.
Makes suggestions as you write your code. Ex: if I
create a new class and make use of a Vector, a little
blue popup appears (that doesn't steal focus) that
tells me to press Alt+Enter if I want it to insert the
appropriate import at the top of the file.I like Eclipse's way of doing it. You code and then say organize imports and viola, they are all there. And it doesn't use * it brings in each class separately and asks if there are mulitple classes with the same name.
Then, with my cursor at the end of "itco", I press
tab. With one keystroke, the code becomesThis is the same as JBuilder but you use ctrl-J. You can add your own templates also. I assume you can do that in IntelliJ has the same ability. I'm pretty sure Eclipse does too but I haven't bothered to figure out how.

Best Java IDE fo Linux

what is the best Java IDE for linux system

I use on three different projects three different IDEs: JBuilder, Eclipse and IntelliJ. I personally prefer IntelliJ, although Eclipse and JBuilder are very good products as well. If you need absolute stability, Eclipse is maybe a little bit early in development, on the other hand it is free and open source. Additionally it "feels" a little bit faster on Linux, because it does not use Swing but SWT which utilizes native controls.

BEST Java IDE/RAD tool

What is the best Java IDE for the price? I don't currently do a lot with Enterprise Java Beans and such ... but 1 thing I really need is to speed up GUI development for Java apps.
Any ideas?

Free:
netbeans.org
eclipse.org (my current favorite)
Both have a ton of features, including CVS integration.

Best Java IDE ? lets rank em

Folks,
I was jst wonderin wats the most popular Java IDE being used
"out there" in your corner of the world ?
If there are any patient souls, I would appreciate your personal
ranking on them ? Tried asking god (read google), but found most
pages a bit biased.
We'll come out with a verdict in the end.
And there is a surprise gift for the best 10 posts.. yeah right ?? :-)

Why people lose time writing for a question that they
don't want to answer. I think all of them are
stupids.Nice hearing from the most intelligent of the lot! If you'd had a grain of grey matter in your brain, you'd not have wasted time in resurrecting useless old threads.
Well, I use Eclipse IDE and IBM WSAD.Eclipse is fine. WSAD sucks; in general, WebSphere sucks!!!
Eclipse is very nice and is faster than WSAD, but
WSAD have some interesting features.Who cares?

Looking for the BEST java IDE

Hi
We're evaluating java IDE's (especially JBuilder & VisualAge) for a Client-Server project that uses RMI (there is no Web development\HTML\Bens involved)
I would appreciate any recommendations, suggestions, articles or reviews that you have.
thanks in Advance...

Both of these IDEs are very solid pieces of software each with their own advantages.
JBuilder is similar to most other java IDEs. It takes less time to become productive in JBuilder than it will take in Visual Age because Visual Age takes a non-standard approach to java development. Be sure to look at a recent version of JBuilder because early version support for remote debugging was very poor.
Visual Age has some of the most advanced java development features of any IDE I've ever used. The downside of this functionality is that it takes quite a bit of time to get accustomed to the IDE. Visual Age doesn't use files like most other IDEs opting instead to provide a completely separate archiving mechanism called a Repository.
If you're looking for something that will take very little time to learn, JBuilder is the better choice. It doesn't have as many features as Visual Age but it's also a lot more like most IDEs and has just about everything most java projects will need.
If you're team is composed primarily of Sr. developers and you're willing to take the time to learn the IDE, Visual Age is well worth the investment. It's a pain to learn but once you learn it you won't want to go back to file based development.
Of course, if you're looking for something between these 2 in terms of features and complexity, download the community edition of forte and give it a whirl.

What java IDE is the best one?

What java IDE is best ?
What java IDE are you using?

I agree that you should decide on what you want your IDE to do.
How important is a GUI builder?
Do you need support for, say Java Server Faces?
Do you frequently work with XML files?
etc, etc.
That being sad: IntelliJ Idea ist the best in many areas, the most important one being usability. This sounds like a small deal, but as each and every feature is very-well implemented, it really boosts productivity.
Currently it falls short in some areas, like support for Java Server Faces.
"dingfelder": Where did you get these numbers from? Last I know, Idea was the third most used IDE.
Also "quantity of users" is as good a criteria as the checksum of it's installer file.
There's a saying in german that literally translates too "Eat sh*t - milliions of flies can't err." Sorry for the french, but you get the Idea I hope.
Oh no, I can't believe that I posted on yet another "what IDE is best" thread. And even more so in a forum that should deal with other stuff.
David001, I hope you're not simply a troll.

Best Java/JSP IDE

I am really new to Java and would like opinions on the best "FREE" IDE to use.
Please let me know what your favorite IDE is and why. Note that my only constraint is that it is a FREE IDE because my organization will not let me spend money on an IDE.
Thanks.
James

I've been using IntelliJ Idea for quite some time - and by far this is the best IDE i've used. It's not free however.
About free ones: I've been using JCreator for a while. It has nice features that simplify coding: (taken from the website)
Pop-up code completion.
Pop-up code snippets.
Pop-up code identifier.
Source code navigation.
Integration of the Javadocs.
Debugger Interface.
Custom document types.
Class Wizard.
Interface Implementation tool.
And more.. "
You can also use Sun's own SunONE studio. It's pretty good, although I found it slow.

Simple Object Modelling and Java IDE for OSX?

I haven't been technical for a while and I want to refresh my Java and object modelling skills. I'm looking for two things. If I can find both in the same environment so much the better.
1) A basic UML modelling tool. All I really care about is describing a medium size object model: classes, sub-classes, attributes, relations, etc.
2) A basic Java IDE. Don't need EJB or anything complex. Just want to compile run and debug simple Java programs.
I down loaded Net Objects but it seems like overkill for what I want. I looked on some open source sites but almost nothing was native to OSX it all ran under Windows or required a Java virtual machine. Actually I guess that's another question, is there already a Java virtual machine as part of OSX or do I need to download one and if so which would be the best.
I'm willing to spend a few $$ but free stuff would be better and no more than $50. So far I found one product native to OSX but the starting cost was $400+ for a five person license.

In case anyone has the same question, I just found this very nice tool on the Apple web site called Visual Paradigm for UML:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/development_tools/visualparadigmforumlente rpriseedition.html
I'm still getting to know it but this is exactly what I was looking for. Fairly easy to use if you already know OO but not as complex as some other tools and works well on the Mac.

- Fast incremental on-the-fly compilation
- On-the-fly error checking of the whole project
- Code completion
- Usage search
- Refactoring (like Renaming, Class moving, etc.)
- and more...
A 30-day trial can be downloaded from our web page at

I wrote a class MultiMap<K, V> extends Map<K, Set<V>>
    // Various constructors, methods, fields.
    public Set<V> get(K key)
        // Implementation
} It compiles fine with the Sun reference compiler, but a friend tells me that CodeGuide 5.0 build 504 complains "There already is another method with the same erasure." It could be that CodeGuide is correct and Sun wrong, because I can see that there might be issues with overriding the get(Object) method with a get(K), but I thought I'd mention it.

Dispite my dislike for auto-gen code it generates :-(
IBMS visual age for java sounds like what your looking for. You can put together apps pretty quickly with it, and it has some nice features.. Again though the ocde it generates is nothing shy of disgusting!!!!!
ivjthis, ivjthat,
kinda reminds me of "java this and java that ya....."

The best Java compile platform

Anybody can provide the best Java platform specification?
I am thinking an IBM compatible PC which can compile big java file in the very fast speed. This compile platform must be able to save much time of programming. But what kind of CPU, RAM, OS can make this ture? If you are experienced this, please provide your excellent ideas, thanks a lot~!
CPU
RAM
OS
Compile Software
Let's speed up~!

Big Java files aren't as common as you would think. Any file which gets too big should be split into smaller ones. :-)
But anyway .. the machine I use at work is a P3-450 with 256Mb RAM, running Windows 2000. My IDE is IntelliJ IDEA, set up with IBM's Jikes compiler.
At home, I use a P2-300 with 64Mb RAM, running Linux, also with Jikes .. which runs slower than the first setup (no surprises there.) I also have a Celeron 600@900 with 384Mb RAM, running a beta of Windows XP, set up like the work system with IDEA and Jikes .. which is the fastest of the lot ..
.. but even though the third system is the fastest, I'd say you only need about a P3-450 to run Java compilation fast enough to use .. especially when you have Jikes as the compiler, which can speed up compilation of things like JSP 10-fold. The RAM is important for running, though, as the JVMs can be a memory hog (particularly when you use a fat, memory-intensive IDE like IDEA.)

Best current ideas for wireless AIO printer for MBP? Prefer not HP or Canon(my MX 850's bad match)*

Would appreciate best current ideas for wireless AIO printer to pair with MBP (bought late 2011). Prefer not HP or Canon. Got my MX 850 to print -- with lots of work -- but would not scan. Tried to fix that, now won't print or scan. Time to move forward, leaving Canon along with Dell notebook in recycle bin. Thanks for any suggestions.

Java IDE Security Issues

I'm evaluating Java IDE's. My boss wants me to evaluate IDE security issues. I can't think of any issues, or how an IDE can have anything to do with security, but didn't want to sweep it under the rug without asking all of you security experts.
Are there any security concerns when selecting a Java IDE?

Yeah, you confirmed what I already knew I suppose.
Unfortunately, I know nothing if this organization, as
I'm only consulting. The management here INSISTS that
security be addressed, but I think it's out of scope
for Java IDE selection. Thanks!In that context, things like "supports HTTPS and ssh access for remote development" may be exactly what they're looking for. It lets managers say "Yes we considered security in making this purchase, and yes the developers of this tool take security seriously." Doesn't mean that security is ever going to impact the actual use of the product.
Remember that a portion of any management decision goes to insuring you can show a good-faith effort to avoid problems, when/if they happen down the road and someone's looking for a fall guy...
Good luck!

Java IDE Internationization Tools

Is there any Java IDE(s) out there that have built in tools to support internationalization?

I'm using 2.0.1. It's not a plugin - look at \Source\Externalize Strings... menu.
Regarding Websphere - I can only imagine that it works as well or better than base Eclipse - but I'm not using WS right now, so you'll want to check for yourself.
