Java Programming in Linux

alexgsummer · 02-26-2005, 10:52 PM

Anyone know of any Java IDE's that work well in Linux? Thanks.

The IDE I use is Eclipse. It is a pretty cool IDe. It works pretty well.

I use netbeans. Good IDE for me...

I use emacs. Good IDE for everything -- plus it's a web browser, mail client, news reader and ... oh well, I guess it still won't brew you coffee?

DrJava? For a lightweight IDE, that is

Do not use eclipse, it will lead you to write non portable Java code, and doesn't support J2SE 5.0.
Instead of staying in the dark, use NetBeans !

Intellij IDEA is a good one.

Although it is not free (if you don't want to pay for it there are key generators that works pretty well),
I used it for a long time.

Now, (with a not so little work) i'm using vim, but it could no be a good choice if you don't know the API you're working with

I use KWrite. All I need for an IDE is syntax highlighting.

alexgsummer · 03-02-2005, 10:47 PM

Awesome. thanks again for the responses.

Care to back that up? I am pretty sure it uses whatever J2SE you point it to. After all, Eclipse knows nothing of Java, its just a framework for plugins.

Also, Eclipse doesn't write code, the developer does. How exactly does IT write non-portable code?

The released eclipse is not supporting J2SE 5.0, and even while it may support using this JDK, it's editor/compiler wouldn't allow you to use 1.5 features.
Next eclipse (3.1) plan to fully support it, but is not yet there.

It should better know java, as it is mostly all written in this language, with the unfortunate exception of SWT ...

Well, as you may know, one of an IDE difference versus a simple editor like vi or emacs, is that it actually write some of the code for you, based on template and wizards. My point here is that eclipse is promoting its non portable graphic toolkit (the mis-named "standard" widget toolkit) instead of using AWT/SWING, which is the portable way to go, IMO.
