- blinkfink182, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Bad summary, but I'll promote anything that speaks of Eclipse. Best IDE I've ever used, so powerful and so flexible.
- dooder0001, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6web-based IDE? is that a joke?
- motang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah I agree with you on that, I used it for Java programming and it's pretty good IDE. Eclipse makes life easier when programming.
- zombo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dugg down as fanboy SPAM. Why would anyone put themselves through the torment?
- gaus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Summary is inaccurate but I found article itself useful
- filmil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Provided you have plenty of RAM and a fast machine, you should have no problem.
If you develop on a daily basis, you need these anyway, so you are likely to not notice any slowness due to the JVM baseline. - dkcronin184, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Eclipse is the best IDE that I've used on Linux. It doesn't tend to produce as many extraneous files in a project as KDevelop and is easier when working with multiple files than a tool such as Vim.
My complaint is it's very slow. It runs in a java virtual machine instead of being compiled natively as a binary. This seems to cause it to get bogged down, and every once in awhile just hang up and crash. This seems to have been fixed somewhat in the new 3.2 release, but I still think it would be better if it was an executable instead of needing java to run. - mulya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just dont forget, IBM spend $40 millions for this "little program"
- Diabolus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0agreed. i hate vm too but i recently used eclipse in a big project and with 2 gb ram, i never had it crash on me, i could use auto completion without problems and all went like a charm.
Ram is cheap. ..you could buy LOTS with the price of visual studio, borland or any other inferior paying product.
maybe when java goes fully open, GCJ will be as fast as the vm... - jma06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There was a GCJ compiled build a while ago. But I doubt that would have been any faster since GCJ's implementation of Java was not the best optimized. Eclipse is not slow once it starts since it is not Swing based. However it does take a while to start and hog memory like any Java app would. Given the free price, the extensive feature set and community support, I am more than happy with it.
- DonPMitchell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There was an interesting article about how professional programmers rated various development environments: http://www.regdeveloper.co.uk/2006/07/04/netbeans_quality/
IBM's Rational Application Development suite came in first place. Visual Studio and Borland's Delphi suite were tied for second. Alas, Eclipse and NetBeans were tied for last place. - yogastore, on 06/30/2008, -0/+0http://astore.amazon.com/calphalon.commercial-20

- Hamsterpotpies, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I can belive how many uses Eclipse has. I used it in school to learn java. I'm using it here and there to program a RPG. I cant belive the uses a little program could have.
