If everybody is warning beginners from eclipse, why is the app recommending it? idk what IDE to download now

Answer 1

if you are beginner dont use ides at all.
when you use ide such as eclipse(or any other) which has a lot features like syntax correction, code completion etc. which will make it easier for you to write the code but
then you will learn the language without knowing what errors are likely to occur during coding and what errors you are likely to make because the ide will correct your code as soon as you write it.
when you write programs in text editors you will have to write the program from scratch. it gives you a lot practice so language will stay with you forever.
At first it will be difficult to remenber all the syntaxes but more you practice easier it will become
and one day you will start writing clean code subconciously without any sort of help or effort

Answer 2

people have misconceptions that eclipse is not foe beginners....choose the way of coding in which u feel comfortable....

Answer 3

Don't get confused if you will be confused in just a coding method how u will focus to learn programming,creating own logic for solving problem...If u feel more comfort and good understanding in eclipse or netbeans ide then choose them or else choose notepad...this is not a matter to get so much confused...just focus on making logic and choose any ide or notepad...then you will become a good java programmer soon...best of luck....might this would be helpful for you

Answer 4

it's like using a calculator vs. solving a problem with long division. An ide will make it much easier to produce working code, but you'll miss out on learning all the steps to get to there. As a newbie, I'd rather do the long division and save the calculator for when I actually know what I'm doing

Answer 5

Blue-j is the best and simple editor for coding in java.

Answer 6

thanks for replying, so it's back to notepad++ then? I'm still a little confused

Answer 7

you can use notepad++....but in my opinion, its horrible. im mean i guess its ok to start with as a beginner, cause thats what i used, but i will never go back to that.... i only use it when i make quizes using html.

Answer 8

use notepad++ to learn the basic synthax and further you download net beans or eclipse, both are great

Answer 9

i think if u r a begginer in java u can try Jcreator. It is too easy to use. I was using it and i like it too.

Answer 10
