Programming tools with Java

In the previous article about Overview of  Java programming language, I introduced about Java programming language and the reason to learn Java. So, today, I'll introduce you some programming tools with Java well-known such as: Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA...

Eclipse

Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE) used in computer programming, and is the most widely used Java IDE. It contains a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment. Eclipse is written mostly in Java and its primary use is for developing Java applications, but it may also be used to develop applications in other programming languages via plug-ins, including C, C++, C#, COBOL, JavaScript, PHP, Python, R, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Groovy, ... . Development environments include the Eclipse Java development tools (JDT) for Java and Scala, Eclipse CDT for C/C++, and Eclipse PDT for PHP, among others. Eclipse software development kit (SDK) is free and open-source software, released under the terms of the Eclipse Public License.

NetBeans

NetBeans is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Java. NetBeans allows applications to be developed from a set of modular software components called modules. NetBeans runs on Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux and Solaris. In addition to Java development, it has extensions for other languages like PHP, C, C++ and HTML5, Javadoc and Javascript. Applications based on NetBeans, including the NetBeans IDE, can be extended by third party developers.

IntelliJ IDEA

IntelliJ IDEA is a Java integrated development environment (IDE) for developing computer software. It is developed by JetBrains (formerly known as IntelliJ), and is available as an Apache 2 Licensed community edition, and in a proprietary commercial edition. Both can be used for commercial development.

Android Studio

Android Studio is the official integrated development environment (IDE) for Google's Android operating system, built on JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA software and designed specifically for Android development. It is available for download on Windows, macOS and Linux based operating systems. It is a replacement for the Eclipse Android Development Tools (ADT) as primary IDE for native Android application development.

Besides it, we also have many other tools for Java developer need to know such as Oracle JDeveloper, JUnit, JRat, ... But these tools above are the most tools well-known which almost Java developer known and used. So, if you want to programming with java, let's find out more about them!

Wish you success!
