Scripting help

[Tiber]

Hey,

 

Wasn't quite sure which section to post this in, in the 'Development' section as their isn't really any help/request section i could see.

However, I'm looking to begin to scripting and noticed a few tutorials however, people use different 'software' as in 'Eclipse', and i'm wondering from experienced people which is best and easiest to use to start or to learn?

Doesn't really matter, choose whatever IDE you want. Only difference is Intellij is pretty much only used in casual development, while Eclipse is used everywhere in the IT industry. This is because Eclipse is open source, has a much more permissive license and is older.

Thank you for replying, what would you personally recommend just for osbot scripting?

Eclipse is probably the easiest to use, but intelliJ and Netbeans are also fine too.

I like the look of it, going to begin to use it and following 'Alek' tutorial and see how far I get. Any advise?

As cliche as it sounds, just practice and make many small scripts. It will takes a few months to get "decent". Obviously, knowing java before hand will give you an advantage, although I barely know java and I just get on fine : ) It is good to at least learn the basics of java though. Scripting is very easy. Once you get the hang of it, you just use the api and you start memorizing the api. After that, it's muscle memory and it should be easy! Good luck.

Yeah I've never touched Java so decided to try it out, hopefully after a few attempts I'll be okay and even If I just make free baby scripts I don't mind I'm sure eventually I'll get at least one okay/decent private script, there is enough tutorials so.

I use Eclipse for Osbot scripting because it's easier to output the jar file with Eclipse. I use IntelliJ for all school related things.
