Calling all Scripters...

[Coreh]

Hey,

 

I am trying to get into Java and scripting, and it comes to where I must use an IDE. So, overall, which one is better, especially for a beginner? Eclipse or IntelliJ?

eclipse is better for starters. theres also a guide on OSBot that gets you set up with eclipse

I've started and sticked with eclipse but you should probably start with IntelliJ, it has more features etc.

I've only used eclipse, and I've found it very user friendly. I did however have some experience with C# and visual studio beforehand though.. so not a complete beginner.

That's not true at all, one is not particularly harder to use than the other.

 

In my opinion Intellij has a better overall user experience, and therefore would be the best choice for OP

Look all these peasents using an IDE, what ever happened to using Notepad and cmd compiling?

 

Notepad++ masterrace checking in.

 

Srsly tho, I used Eclipse and IntelliJ, It's completly down to personal preference really. Try them both.

Eclipse is better for beginners specifically on OSBot for a few reasons:

 

 

1. There is a precise guide that teaches the exact setup of eclipse. 

 

2. Because it has less features, its functions are easier to grasp and manage - especially for someone just learning Java, let alone the OSBot API on top of that. They're not going to need all of the functions on IntelliJ.

 

3. Eclipse is simpler. For a beginner, that's more important than cool features that they could use years from now when they're developed as programmers.

This exactly.

 

Half the people saying "IntelliJ master race" don't even use any of the features it offers above Eclipse. Any beginner is definitely better off getting familiar with Eclipse (99% of tutorials use it anyway).

 

Besides, the Eclipse compiler can actually run around compilation errors (assuming that part of the code is unused at runtime, else you'll get an exception) which makes it that much better for newbies.
