for example, we started writing a line of code:Īnd now we want to find what options do we have: what can start with letters "vi". in this small dialog window idea will provide autofilling, syntax highlighting and everything you need.Īutocomplete is what distinguishes any ide from the notepad. i'm serious, the difference is huge - it's just heaven and earth.
but with idea it's much easier and faster. It turns out that both ides, in principle, allow you to do the same thing. very convenient! after trying this feature, you just cannot debug in eclipse anymore. you can also edit and immediatelly evaluate the expression in this dialog. idea understands which expression you probably need and shows a dialog window suggesting several possible variants for your expression. you just put cursor at any place inside your expression (at method hasattribute in given case) and press alt+f8. With idea you don't need to select anything. now you press ctrl+shift+i and see the value of expression. it's important to exactly select the whole expression, otherwise eclipse cannot evaluate it. in eclipse you need to select this expression. Is expressed in many, many ways, here are just a few.Īs a part of debugging process, we often want to evaluate some expression to see its value. Still not clear? do not worry, it will become clear in the following examples. thanks to it, at any time, wherever you put the cursor, idea knows where you are and what can be done there. what it really means? idea indexes the whole your project, analyses everything it has, and even builds the syntax tree. that's what jetbrains employees mean when they name idea The main reason why idea is steeper is: idea
The main difference between idea and eclipse so i know both ides well and can compare them. and now i have been working on idea for a couple of years. after surviving a serious break-up, i finally realized why is idea steeper. then i switched to another company, and was forced to move to idea. I've been working on eclipse for 5 years, i knew it very well, i wrote plugins for it and sincerely loved eclipse.
moreover, eclipse users typically don't notice this difference when trying idea for fun, just because they used to work "in eclipse mode".īefore i start, let me explain who i am and why is my opinion worth listening to. the second ones used to live without it and cannot imagine that ide can do such things. the first ones used to it and cannot imagine that ide can miss it. typically, neither idea nor eclipse fans know it. I am not going to compare lot of tiny differences like plugins, shortcuts etc - there is a plenty of blog posts on this topic, like this one: [īetween idea and eclipse. I claim that it is not just a matter of taste. as a result, people typically claim that both ides are equal in their capabilities, and choosing of one of them is a matter of taste. there is so many differences that it's difficult to decide what of them are the most important. There is a lot of disputes on this topic discussing which of them has more plugins, shortkeys and so on. One of such holywars is selection of the best java ide:
#What is intellij windows#
what is better: windows or linux, java or c# who is stronger, chuck norris or van damme. There are "eternal" questions that have no single correct answer.
