What Java IDE is the best?

[03storic]

Netbeans FTW, I use it for coding both Java and PHP sources.

I personally prefer to use NetBeans. I find the layout very useful, the functions easy to find and use, and its comes with alot of things that you'll need to download as add-ons for other IDE's.

 

Again, as stated before, its all about personal preference. try out some of the suggestions and see which one you like best  

[lolmanden]

Eclipse, of course.

[Rodgerwilco]

Eclipse is by far the best IDE. Scrubs.

[True Scripts]

I prefer Eclipse. I use to use Net Beans but I prefer Eclipse ui. Its all down to preference.

[pyroryan]

IntelliJ. But, to each his own.

[furysangel]

i use eclipse and intellj i like both of them so its really which one fits you best

[Superman]

Eclipse is only good for massive projects that you wouldn't be able to keep track of otherwise. If you're still learning Java, definitely do not use Eclipse, because you'll be missing out a lot of important details that Eclipse practically does for you. If you're creating something as simple as scripts for OSBot then Notepad++ is the way to go .

Lol Notepad? More like Intellij Idea or Eclipse. 

[Solution]

there is no "best" IDE since it's personal preference, but I personally like IntelIJ best

[Celeos]

I started out with Eclipse but now I use IntelliJ. I like it more.

[Pseudo]

IntelliJ is the 'superior' IDE in terms of what it has to offer, which is why I prefer it. It takes time to get used to, but it's well worth converting. And the code completion on iJ is far superior to any other IDE.

I started coding in eclipse and just recently switched to intellij. I love it. I can't believe a ide like this existed.
