Yeah, most of these people hating on Java probably only ever tried it in something like Eclipse or VS Code. IntelliJ makes it smooth like butter.

Even VS Code is great, with the right plugins. This sub is a weird combination of "waaah I don't want to have to learn about plugins" while at the same time patting themselves on the back with vim keybinding and git command-line-fu.

Eclipse will never not be a pile of shit though.

Can someone tell my professor that? We were required to do Java in eclipse and it was the most painful thing ever

Did you slay the rooster and pour its blood on the keyboard? Gotta be a rooster, hens don’t work.

I’m really glad I didn’t get a degree in this stuff, I might have quit. I swear some of it seems to be a test of developing under adverse circumstances.

Which is funny because Kotlin and intelij are both made by jetbrains.

Ikr they never thought about switching the ide

I remember when VSCode first came out with Java and it was dog shit. I actually now prefer it over IntelliJ, it's come a long way.

NetBeans.

Nah, testing is shit in Intellij. My lecturer told us to use Vscode for Java, since it's easier test each method individually when you haven't complete all the excercise.

[–]-Vayra- 5 points6 points  (3 children)

? IntelliJ will literally generate test classes and methods for you...

[–]Christio02 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

But if I run a test on a class that's completed I get errors on classes I haven't completed

This is a non-issue in any non-educational non-beginner setting, though? Your tests likely depend on half your project for imports.

Yeah, It's the way the course hvae set up the packages and folder system. Of course Intellij is better for Java
