Comparison between 2 IDE's - Netbeans and Eclipse

[cylab]

I am totally Netbeans addicted… I tried once intellij, the graphic is really awesome but I find working on only one project at time such a huge limitation…

This is a misconception due to their legacy wording. In reality its:
Intellij Project = Netbeans Project Group ~ Eclipse Workspace
Intellij Module = Netbeans Project = Eclipse Project

Also the Community Edition of Intellij is everything you need for POJO development. All the core IDE functionality is the same as in the Ultimate edition and the whole core source code is Open Source. Only the plugins contained in the Ultimate edition are not. So you are only paying for closed source plugins, not a closed source IDE.

If you give it a try, you should do it multiple weeks, not just an hour - it’s impossible to judge an IDE in this short amount of time. You can also select Eclipse keybindings and import Eclipse projects, but at least the latter will imho lock you into a bias and hinder exploration of the IDEs goodies…

I could never get into intelliJ IDEA …
For Android development I might actually go Android Studio at this point.

That’s kind of ironic! ;D

Why? :3
On desktop I dont see any immediate benefits of switching, I can do what I want in Eclipse.
But when developing for Android there are obvious advantages and additional features when using Android Studio.
Not to mention Eclipse just being freaking buggy and janky with plugins including ADT and stuff.

I will never use IntelliJ IDEA because it’s not open source.

You need to get GNU/laid.

Just amused me because they’re practically the same thing. I do understand the point you were making though.

No need for that! I (almost) never use closed-source software either. There are lots of good reasons for having that viewpoint. I’ve been burnt by crappy commercial software that doesn’t work very well too often. I’ll stick with the crappy open-source software that doesn’t work very well instead thanks! ;D

Well there is a difference between having a viewpoint and shoving it into every discussion you possibly can.
I’m sure you met some really political people or vegans like that.

Using an IDE whose full edition is entirely open source is important for me and was very useful for example when I tried to understand some bugs and limitations of SWT and Eclipse RCP (I used them in a software at work). It gives me a chance to fix the bugs by myself without having to resort to reverse engineering and to contribute, which I have done several times for Netbeans and Eclipse.

I rarely post on JGO, especially this year. My comments aren’t off topic. Please respect my freedom of speech. Your accusation is unfair and I think that the problem isn’t “having a viewpoint and showing it in every discussion” but rather the fact that you disagree with me. Lots of people don’t realize that what they express show their political opinions maybe because they mostly agree with the current economic system, I don’t blame them for showing them and imperialists can loudly express their viewpoints everywhere. Why should I refrain myself from showing my viewpoint in every discussion? I explained my thinking about Netbeans and Eclipse and why I don’t use IntelliJ IDEA. I compare things that can be compared, i.e Eclipse & Netbeans with IntelliJ IDEA “Ultimate Edition”. I remind that I program a bit in HTML, JavaScript, CSS and PHP too which is possible in Netbeans, Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA but only in its commercial edition as far as I know. There is the same limitation for JavaEE:

Interesting news on the NetBeans front -

I read the other day in a comment section (gnnnnn) that Amiga fans were the vegans of the retro computing world. Made me chortle, anyway.

As you were…

Good news on the Netbeans front! Moving it out of Oracle is a good thing in my opinion. Hopefully it can get more contributors and head in the direction that the community wants it to move in. On the debate of Netbeans vs Eclipse. Try them both and go with the one that works for you best. It’s always going to be a personal choice, they may have slightly different feature lists but not enough to make a real different in most situations,

Yeah, the company’s not bad ;D
