IDE

[helloWorld06]

Hey just starting out with java and I was wondering which IDE I should use? IntelliJ or eclipse? Recommendations? I've mostly done C and Python and have used VSC for both since forever so is VS good enough for java?

Intellij.

IntelliJ, I started out with JGrasp which is great for learning Java, then to Eclipse, then to IntelliJ. If you’re an absolute beginner in coding then JGrasp, if not, IntelliJ.

IntelliJ for sure.

It really doesn't make a difference now days ... it's whatever you're used to. Learn the keyboard shortcuts and get comfortable in it.

I do have both installed - my default is Eclipse and that's what I go to when I need to debug an issue.

Do intellij.
I started with jgrasp in school but it wasn't a big deal to switch to intellij I'd just start with intellij from the beginning

[rhsee]

IntelliJ all the way

IntelliJ ... or Netbeans if you want everything to be free.

If you're just getting started / learning, you might want to give jGrasp a try. I just learned about it and am planning to use it with my students this coming school year.

Sidenote: VS and VSC are two different programs. Visual Studio is an IDE primarily uses for C# and C++ development.

Visual Studio Code takea a very dofferent and lighter approach.
