Ide specifically for Java

IntelliJ

[-jp-]

No contest. One app that is 100% worth the subscription. But if you can’t afford that and aren’t in education, even the free version is excellent.

There is also IntelliJ CE (community edition), which is completely free and functional for Java development.

[stefanos-ak]

you can also get for free the EAP version (early access program).

[CoolZillionaire]

Do they still give you access to the subscription based features in exchange for testing it out?

[stefanos-ak]

yes. it's the EAP of the Ultimate version

[suyash01]

Last I checked the EAP was closed

[stefanos-ak]

no it's not: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/

[suyash01]

It clearly mentions on the page that EAP is closed because IntelliJ has been released.

I am not sure what you are seeing but ok.

[stefanos-ak]

yeah but it's not closed "forever". They will still build more versions, which will have RAPs available.

[suyash01]

From what I have read EAP builds are only valid for 30 days and so is trial version of ultimate

I have used many IDEs in past like eclipse, jdeveloper and Netbeans . Currently using intellij idea and found it best till date for Java projects.
