Just to clear things up, although IntelliJ is a more advanced IDE, using it for scripting is an overkill. Yeah, the indexing is nice when you have tons of files between multiple languages, which is a big reason a developer may choose IntelliJ. But for programs with like 10 to 20 classes all written in Java, using IntelliJ is like killing an ant with a flamethrower.

 

Once again, it comes down to preference. Some people like the feel of IntelliJ, some like the feel of Eclipse. I've used both, and my opinion is, Eclipse is just fine. Leave it alone guys.

 

Btw, if you look, everyone is all "IntelliJ or get out", but give no reasons.... hmmm... :doge:

intellij is for more advanced users, eclipse is for beginners

 

This just made you even lower then a beginner xD

 

Been using eclipse for several years smile.png

Nothing to do with beginner, advanced, expert ...

 

IntelliJ maight be more advanced, but scripting is probably the lowest form of java you can possiby go ... 

So I don't see any positive note that intelliJ has over Eclipse for making scriipts at all.

I used Eclipse for Java for about a year.

Have been using IntelliJ for around a month now.
Eclipse is slower in terms of navigation, auto-complete, etc... 

IntelliJ's code inspection and analysis = amazing but I guess you can add similar (if not superior) features to Eclipse via its vast plugin library, something IntelliJ lacks. Also IntelliJ starts up really slowly (about 5 times less fast than Eclipse).

 

I recently returned to Eclipse to start learning C & C++ (because MVS was really laggy) because it's basic, user friendly, expandable and quick to set up. But I don't think I'll switch back to it for Java anytime soon.
