### "Best tools for java developers"

February 18, 2022

5.0

It is free and simple to-utilize programming with some great modules that assist the engineer with coding. Also it very well may be incorporated with different apparatuses like CI/CD, Git, and numerous others. I will propose you to utilize this IDE in light of the fact that it is phenomenal.

Pros

As an accomplished engineer, I find it supportive, simple to utilize, and strong IDE(Integrated Development Environment). It has a cutting edge UI, and it very well may be utilized on different stages. Its linguistic structure featuring, code consummation, programmed code age, troubleshooting, joining with SCM (Source Code Management), assemblage, and execution of code in a solitary press are probably the best highlights in Eclipse.

Cons

As it is an exceptionally weighty IDE, dealing with low-end frameworks might be a rushed assignment. Its beginning time is extremely sluggish and takes a great deal of handling power. What's more assuming you are an amateur, you'll find it truly challenging to utilize, and its documentation is likewise bad.

It has the best user interface and time to time upgradation makes it even better than before.

Pros

Eclipse is best for development of java projects as it provides features for auto completion, formatting etc.

Cons

If more than 3 projects are being added to workdpace of eclipse, it takes a lot of time at time of starting it up.

### "Best IDE I have used for my development work"

October 10, 2021

5.0

Being a user for almost a decade now I have always felt that this is one of the best IDEs that I have ever worked amongst every IDE I have tried.

Pros

Ease of setup and user interactions to set up a project and do the development work for almost a decode for me now. A lot of improvements on their new versions show that they are valuing their users and consistently improvising their products.

Cons

The IDE takes a little long time to load at times when trying to import complex projects from github that may have a lot of dependencies to be initialized and some time results in memory issue

### "IDE for Java Developers"

December 19, 2023

5.0

I needed a platform that easily debugs and reports the error in the program along with the cause of the error and also suggests solutions with experience in compiling the program solved by Eclipse.

Pros

It is a free software, the features I have seen are quick code fix and auto-suggestion where it can identify grammar error while writing code and give warning option and quick fixes for error free code.

Cons

Sometimes internet speed is required if you are implementing a dependency or installing a new plugin. Needs some updating.

### "Is Eclipse IDE a Good Software?"

April 28, 2021

5.0

Pros

Eclipse ide is a full environment for creating, testing, and deploying software especially if you are a java developer. It can be extended through plugins. it allows you to test out your codes along every step of the way and gives you detailed analytics about errors and warnings in your codes. It basically helps you debug your codes

Cons

If you are a beginner, it is not easy to use and the documentation is not very understandable. It is a heavy software and can sometimes be slow to loading

### "Best IDE for Professionals and Beginners."

July 24, 2021

5.0

In my work place we use it daily and alot of my colleagues use it. Provides faster and easier development. Do give this one a try.

Pros

what I like the most about this IDE is its customization. One can configure each and every panel in the screen to ones own need and can make it look completely unique to his own personality. The features it provides are superior than any other IDE. there so many plugins to use, which make our work faster and easier. The product is so much mature now and its still being upgrading day by day. It supports alot of languages. So for different projects and different languages you do not need to switch the IDE. Really loved it and really recommend using it.

Cons

the only thing that I dont like in it is the default white theme. that can be changed and customized I learned a bit latter. So now this is the perfect IDE.

### "gran ide para programar en JAVA"

December 19, 2022

4.0

Pros

Lo he podido comparar con netbeans y eclipse lo veo mucho más potente a la hora de realizar aplicaciones. he usado también la version enterprise para servidores backend hechos con java y está muy bien, un poco la curva de aprendizaje como que cuesta, y configurar librerías de terceros tambien puede llegar a frustrar

Cons

Es muy bueno para programar en java pero no lo recomiendo para nada si se quiere hacer una aplicación en android, para eso mejor usar android studio

### "My first lovely simple IDE"

January 1, 2023

4.0

I didn't use Eclipse IDE recently but when I used it some years ago, it was a very good experience.

Pros

Eclipse IDE is a very simple, lightweight IDE that was the perfect choice to be a part of my learning journey of android application development.

Cons

While I'm using Eclipse IDE as time passes, I didn't like Eclipse IDE's UI/UX. Also, having slow support for adding more features than competitors.

Switched from

[Android Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/246781/Android-Studio/)[IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.capterra.com/p/136010/IntelliJ-IDEA/)[Xcode 12](https://www.capterra.com/p/207197/Xcode-12/)

The main reason for switching is the official support from Google that really brings tons of features.

### "Un IDE completo e versatile ma pieno di bug"

February 3, 2023

2.0

Pros

Un punto di forza di Eclipse è sicuramente è che supporta molti linguaggi di programmazione (Java, C++, PHP, Python).Inoltre è disponibile per Windows, Linux e macOS e ha una vasta comunità di sviluppatori alle spalle che lo supportano.Utilizzo Eclipse anche perchè è altamente estendibile grazie alla sua architettura basata su plugin, che consente agli sviluppatori di personalizzare l'ambiente di sviluppo per soddisfare ogni esigenza.

Cons

Il software purtroppo è sempre pieno di bug ed è inoltre molto complicato trovare i workaround a questi problemi, soprattutto se si è alle prime armi. Nel complesso sviluppare su questa piattaforma appare spesso lento e complicato, riducendo notevolmente i benefici.

### "Popular IDE not only for developers"

July 29, 2020

5.0

Easy to use tool with large community support.

Pros

A lot of other IDEs are based on this application, so you need to learn usage of it once and you can use it up more times. It is released in packages for different audiences.

Cons

It consumes a lof of memory, when you are working on bigger projects.

### "Eclipse, the simplicity in a dev environment"

September 7, 2023

3.0

We're still using Eclipse as our Monolithic software development tool, coding there has been a blessing, the easiness to set up an entire workstation from 0 is outstanding.

Pros

I think the feature I can enjoy the most while using Eclipse is for sure the UI, really clean, able to make and download some plugins but the best feature is for sure the simplicity of the UI.

Cons

I think they could improve the adaptability to different languages, IntelliSense sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work when switching, the competitors are crawling because they added a lot of API plugins that Eclipse does not have.

### "Eclipse for the win!"

June 9, 2021

5.0

Pros

Although I do not use Eclipse often now, I used it often in my other position. I was teaching Configurations for a proprietary product and rather than code Java by hand, I would teach the course using Eclipse. SO much easier to code and debug!

Cons

Nothing! This software helped out a lot as I taught those courses.

Eclipse es muy buen editor para desarrollar tu código, y también como gestor de entorno de desarrollo. Está ampliamente usado, lo cual es una ventaja para explicaciones y dudas en el trabajo. Su interfaz es intuitiva

Cons

Si quieres autocompletar código, se queda muy corto. Además, al edición de errores es algo confusa

### "Molto bene per lo sviluppo java, ma c'è di meglio"

February 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

uno dei pregi più grandi è sicuramente il costo: è gratis.L'interfaccia è molto semplice e ci sono molte opzioni per il debug

Cons

l'ho usato solo per programmare in Java e devo dire che con questo linguaggio ho avuto difficoltà, si è dimostrato lento e ogni tanto l'intellisense mandava in lag l'intero programma. C'è di meglio.

### "Best OpenSource IDE"

November 16, 2022

4.0

Great IDE for programming in general and can be customized quite a bit but requires more in-depth knowledge than other (licensed) IDEs.

Pros

This software has one of the best communities out there. There are many variations of this IDE and customized versions.

Cons

Very bloated, plugin dependency management is not great and often conflicts are not easily resolvable.
