If you're doing Java, Try IntelliJ. It's far superior to Eclipse.

Nothing compares to VS.

 

[brianmanahan]

holy crap dude

VS sucks compared to eclipse, you have to buy a freakin 50$ resharper plugin to make it even being to compete with eclipse

Nothing compares to VS with visual assist.

VS2012 + resharper =

eclipse keeps messing up renames and sometimes just straight up refuses to do shit.

 

[brianmanahan]

VS2012 + resharper = hundreds of dollars

ftfy

how exactly does eclipse mess up renames? never does that for me. alt+shift+r ftw.

I've been meaning to give IntelliJ a try but my school wants me to use eclipse.

they have a history of picking crappy things, like glassfish server (breaks for like no reason at all) and mySQL (selfexplanatory) for instance.

the worst thing I've tried was when i renamed a field in one project and it actually managed to also rename a class (that had the same name as the field) in a completely different project, I to this day have no idea why it thought that was a good idea, but I almost threw my laptop at the wall in pure frustration.

I've been using eclipse for 12 years or so and never had a refactor problem. This leads me to believe you aren't paying attention to what you're actually doing and blaming the IDE.

right click -> refactor -> rename -> enter new name -> press enter


not a whole lot to keep track of and do wrong.

 

[Broheim]

nope, was a refactor rename (I didn't notice it at first but I was taking snippets from another class in the project with the renamed class and when I looked at the project explorer I got super confused for a while until i figured out what had happened).

 

[MayorOfAmerica]

Did you preview the refactor first to make sure you didnt accidentally select an unwanted rename option (e.g. Rename in non java files)?

I know the answer to this since it would've showed you what it wanted to rename first and you could've saved yourself some frustration for a 10 second double-check.

On second thought, I take back blaming the user, since I've seen all kinds of software do all kinds of wacky things. Maybe you just got unlucky.

I'm using Eclipse for Android development and damn do I miss Visual Studio. The biggest thing I miss is the superior debugging in VS, followed closely by Intellisense.

I've never heard of Intellij, how does that fare for Android work?

 

[SunnyD]

If you haven't been getting Visual Studio for free (and I mean Professional edition, not Express editions, and I mean legit licenses, directly from Microsoft)... you've been doing it wrong. For a long time.

Seriously, they give that shit away.

Orly? I knew about students getting Microsoft stuff for reduced or free, is that what you're talking about? Details!

No personal experience. They added Android support a few versions ago. I've heard from two people that's it good.

I think they used to give away full versions of their software if you attended their launch events; not sure if they still do that though. My interest is piqued. I could just install a copy from work, but it's not exactly legit to do so afaik.

i love how there are like a million vendors in the microsoft dev space each selling tools for like 200$ a pop

i overheard a guy saying at a conference that some VS plugin to autorun unit tests and calculate coverage was the best 200$ he had ever spent... im like, LOL, we have had eclemma for free for almost 10 years! microsoft devs are funny though, most of the ones i talk to instantly equate free open source with crap quality.

now java is definitely long in the tooth, but i have got groovy/scala/clojure/jruby to choose from on the jvm. i would take any of those languages over c#.

 

[brianmanahan]

also cracks me up when people think MVC started with ASP.NET MVC. lol no, i was doing it with apache struts 10 years before ASP.NET MVC came out.

If I remember correctly, smalltalk was the first language to feature a MVC framework back in the 80's. I can't recall when the concept was first introduced, but the point is that its been around a very long time.

The only thing I find VS really useful for is when i have to create MS centric applications or dlls. I use it mostly these days when I have to tie Java code to native code through JNI. For me and my purposes, that's where VS really shines over Eclipse's more generic c/c++ plugin. With that said I often find myself saying "man VS is really lacking in features compared to Eclipse"

Wrong forum guys! I wanted to read a post about Eclipse gum, but got this programming stuff instead 🙁
