To the guy that said NetBeans is faster (!?) than Eclipse, all I can think of is that IBM might ship an earlier version of Eclipse with that product. I revert to netbeans for that – they work pretty well in tandem (as long as you’ve got lots of ram!)… The only thing missing is a gui designer – but since i do mostly server work – that’s not a big deal for me. The spindle plugin for tapestry is also somewhat helpful.

Don’t have a screenshot, but if you go to ibm’s site and have a look at webstudio (I think) – they use the eclips base as well (they donated the codebase). If you develop java applictions – give it a try. The interface is pretty zippy thanks to swt. Making the change in one class instantly marks the conflicts this causes in every line in every dependent class in every project – possibly in every class that you’ve ever written – several thousand classes in mycase! Other ides do this too, but eclipse does it most elegantly. occasionally i have to expand them with new capabilities that may break exisiting code. I have several common modules that I use for multiple projects.
#STABLE ECLIPSE FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
My software seems to evolve as I develop it – i see new patterns as I go along and refactor to take advantage of them. The refactoring capabilities just blow me away – and this is why i like it so much. I’ve been developing for a few years and have all of my classes seperated into projects in eclipse. I’ve used pretty much every java ide – and i think eclipse is the best one – including the ones you pay for.
#STABLE ECLIPSE FOR MAC FOR MAC OS#
The Eclipse Website says not a single word about an Eclipse version for Mac OS X. I personally don’t like Eclipse – hard enough I have to use it at work 8 hours per day. LOL – NetBeans – which is developed in 100% Java – is much faster than the dogslow Eclipse IDE. I talked once to an IBM guy (IBM is a big player in the Eclipse project) why they did such strange things and the answer was: “Because of the speed!”. Startup, editing, browsing the source – just everything.īut the strangest thing is still the mix of java and native source components in excipse, which makes it pretty hard to port Eclipse. The NetBeans IDE is nuch more faster in just everything. If you compare Eclipse (which hasn’t all the plugins IBM delivers with WSAD) to Netbeans, I have to say, Netbeans is far far better than Eclipse.


1GHz CPU and below 1GB of RAM if you want to do resious EJB development with is. Eclipse is the foundation of WSAD, and, I have to say, it is the biggest and slowest IDE I have ever used. We do Java/JSP/HTML/EJB development with it. I don’t really know why the do such a stupid thing.Īt work we use “WebSphere Studio Application Developer” (short WSAD) from IBM for one year now. In opposite to NetBeans (which is 100% Java), Eclipse need an individual distro for everey supported platform. Therefore it is not very easy to port Eclipse to different platforms. …is, that it is a stange mix of Java and native components.
