ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

I have recently started a Java course Online, I use the BlueJ IDE but i don't feel 100% comfortable with it.
I wanted to know your opinions on a good beginners IDE from anyone involved in any form of java development. I Search on the Internet and and others and they have recommended a few others, but if those are anything like BlueJ i'll be inclined to say no thanks. I have heard good things about ItelliJ and NetBeans but everyones input will be much appreciated!
I still use old versions of Eclipse (from back when they had names instead of dates), because they irritate me less than everything else I try.
Still you should at live give IntelliJ IDEA and Netbeans a go, because lots of people do like them, and so you might too.
If you want your IDE more like advanced text editors, jEdit or Geany are also worth considering.
Give at least some of those a try and see what you like/dislike about them, then it'll be easier for people to suggest others that are similar/different in the right places.
I use Intellij IDEA or NetBeans when I am not forced to use a particular IDE. NetBeans has simpler settings comparing to Intellij IDEA and Eclipse. However, I do not write huge programs. Eclipse seems too buggy for me. One practical difference between Intellij IDEA and NetBeans is that NetBeans does not show the name autocomplete list, you need to press Ctrl+Space to see it, while Intellij IDEA shows it without pressing anything.
IntelliJ IDEA, of course. Their IDEs are the best tools for languages (except AppCode, problems with performance and constant swift module indexing, but if that will get fixed - buh bai xcode).
NetBeans 12.0. You are right, Tools → Options → Editor → Code Completion → Language → Java → Auto Popup on Typing Any Java Identifier Part turns it on. Only now I realized that I need to switch the language to Java to see this option.
Thank you for your reply I found Eclipse and Netbeans are one of the most used Java IDEs, and also I found this [link moderated] on the Internet, I think this is a very informative post for me. here author listed all the best Java Ides

Sites like that should not be trusted - they are designed specifically to gain search engine traffic and advertising hits.
There's no guarantee the authors have any idea what they're talking about, nor even experience in the topic - it's likely just cobbled together content from other sources.
