Eclipse IDE Features

The IDE is small in size and provides a lot of features and only the extensions which we are using in the project, we can just add that in our project, thus making the final Jar smaller, which is a very good feature. I really like the IDE this way.

The collaboration with other tools is a bit of research that needs to be done in order to use it correctly

As a former user, I'd say that the biggest benefits of Eclipse (while I used it) were the low price and the dearth of web content on using it. I was exploring Java applets as a tool in handling some internal tasks on a Intranet, so I wasn't even sure whether Java was the right choice for me. Being able to fire up a free yet capable IDE and follow some tutorials allowed me to test my proof of concept fairly quickly.

What led me to go with another product (IntelliJ IDEA) was the fact that the user interface and experience are just not enjoyable. The approach to debugging is very convoluted. I don't code very often, so at first I assumed it was normal. After trying a few other IDEs I realized that the whole Debug View approach seemed needlessly complicated, as a layperson. The UI is not very presentable, and it has some delays in refactoring and displaying that perhaps are a side effect of it being needlessly complex. Also, the dearth of tutorials and plugins were good at first but then I ran into the issue that the software is changing so much that the tutorials and plugins were oftentimes irrelevant or rendered obsolete.

The Eclipse team really does care about their product. It's really is amazing how it just seems to do a bit of everything. When I was first introduced to Eclipse, now 8+ years ago, it was a bit overwhelming. I was coming from a background using Vi/Vim, and being thrown into Eclipse is a bit like sky diving when you are used to a trampoline. That said, if you love features, and you love customizing your environment this is def the product you want to roll with. There are SO many integrations that it makes it feel like a no-brainer.

Some of the things that make Eclipse so great can also make it bit too 'loud' and/or cumbersome. I liken Eclipse to the 'kitchen sink' analogy -- it seems to come with everything, even the 'kitchen sink' (an old American idiom). Meaning, it has so much included with it that it makes other IDE's seem small in comparison. However, when you start with 'everything' thrown at you at once, it can be a bit confusing and less 'purpose built' for small tasks.

It is very easy to customize and extend it based on plugins, in addition to the debugging functions that allow the development of applications to be simpler, being able to condition the execution to the productive environment for which the application is intended.

The IDE has a lot of plugins and many of them are not compatible, and you can only tell when you are using the IDE, causing it to become unstable.

It is a complete IDE, with many support tools, many plugins and support for many popular programming languages. It has "versions" with embedded items, making it easy to install for this or that purpose, such as IOT projects or embedded electronics, PHP or Java. If you don't have another tool, with Eclipse you can create your end-to-end product and deliver.

First off, Eclipse is free, but I put an average price. This is because despite not having a license cost, you have cost of use in productivity. If you take twice as much time on tool X it already costs you hours of production. I find Eclipse old-fashioned, heavy, huge and dated. It's not nice to use Eclipse, it's just functional. And he has many errors in obscure canvases that look like they were made twenty years ago.

Great to have so many integrations. It also runs the codes really fast.

hard for beginners users, i started coding java first with eclipse and i had a hard time. The interface is complex so I wouldn't recommend it if you're just starting out.

The fact that the GUI is perfectly laid out for a JAVA developer makes this application highly accessible for people who are either beginners or advanced in coding in JAVA.

The fact that this app doesn't allow many customizations in terms of Graphical themes or icon themes makes this app less competitive in comparison to its competitors.

Eclipse's ability to offer a standard platform for the creation of multiple software technologies is one of its strongest features. It helps with no code revision after execution by identifying issues before the code is executed. Wherever a caution symbol appears, we can modify the lines. In Eclipse, importing and exporting projects is quick and simple. My development has benefited greatly from Eclipse's integration with Git and other version control tools. It has a tonne of plugins, which will enable us to personalize the application and do a lot of exploring.

The AI-based auto-completion system has to be improved because it currently completes codes quite slowly. Its size and resource requirements may cause older PCs to perform more slowly. The time it takes to open and run the code can be extremely long.

Eclipse is a powerful IDE that has a large number of functions and a multitude of views and settings. The Eclipse framework is also used in other products like dbeaver, Apache DS and therefor familiar to people with those tools. It is an extensible product with add-ons like Integration Studio makes it a versatile tool.

Eclipse has a large number of perspectives, views and so on. This makes it a bit hard to navigate between all the options. The stability sometimes also has issues. Especially when you have a large number of open windows. The options are not always directly clear as to what each option will do (e.g. a number of options have the same truncated name like maven build )

1. The most common thing is GUI, every developer easily interact without any prior knowledge.2. Inbuilt plug-ins allows user to use common functionalities.3. Features that contains Eclipse IDE allow developer to follow coding standards and ease the developer routine work.4. It has internal functions to develop, test and deploy tools.

From past few years I'm using Eclipse IDE for development. I didn't find any improvements as of now. It improves and release latest versions every year.

It is both free and open source. It also includes code templates that are ready to use. It facilitates the addition of many plugins, resulting in a speedier development process. Eclipse has already set hotkeys for a variety of operations and allows you to configure one, which saves me a significant amount of time writing. It provides excellent debugging capabilities. With a basic user interface, it is simple to use and onboard. Provides a variety of editors, and the night mode in the newer versions makes it easier for developers to code.

The user interface is awkward. It might take a long time to open and run the code. It might be difficult to use if one is unfamiliar with or does not comprehend an IDE, since it takes time to become used to. When several plugins are added, it might get sluggish.

As it is open source, it comes with its own set of benefits like huge number of plugins, third party support and integrated management. Faster than many IDE's I have used. Supports multiple programming languages. Customize appearance like themes, light mode, dark mode etc. Debugging and auto format

I learnt Java in this IDE, there is nothing much to complain about when your language is Java but when you use it for other languages you might not have similar experience. For example lack of support for CMAKE. It could be optimized further to run large projects without crashing.

This has best UI nearly you can utilize it as ide for java, c/c++, python as due to its flexible activity. Useful for project developement and the executives, it have an incredible troubleshooting limit which measure the code quick..

Nothing to detest except for it not help web improvement and it takes more memory area.

One of the things I like about this IDE is its wide range of documentation and community support, one can always find some help in a forum about the IDE. A very complete IDE that allows you to carry out your projects easily and quickly, allowing you to export projects easily. Its installation and configuration is really simple, it does not require a great effort to configure it and in a matter of minutes you will have a tool ready to work.

As well as giving you a wide range of options and configurations, it gives you a certain complexity, since when looking for some necessary option for IDE configurations it can take a while.

I am using eclipse for mostly Java development for my APIs in Springboot as well as for Spring Web application as well. Intellisense feature of this IDE is super awesome and it makes the development life so much easier. Marketplace contains many extensions like SonarLint, Maven etc.

One of the drawback for this software is linking this with GIT repos and resolving merge conflicts etc is very difficult or sometimes not possible. Here STS(JavaBeans) is better if we need this feature

I can say everything is best in this tool right from GUI, easy of use, Integration/collaborations with other tools Worked for UI, API automation Code review Comparing Difference language supports

Least about this is nothing Only thing everyone say is, it is a open source so if any company/client wants to work on licensed then they will not look for this

1. I've used Eclipse as a developer and automation engineer, and this IDE really adapts to what I need. I mainly use Eclipse for Java programming language as well as Python, and the coding experience stays the same. 2. IntelliSense feature is helpful. 3. Deployment is seamless since it can be integrated into CI/CD tools

1. If you have experience with other newer IDE now in the market, you may realize that Eclipse tends to be more "too techy" based on the interface. But if you prefer it oversimplified IDE (like PyCharm), this is for you.

User friendly and easy to create new projects for micro services. Great tool for beginners.

Less features with third party plugins and need more customer support.

Eclipse is one of the best IDE and also it is open source. It is very easy to operate. It supports multiple programming languages ( such as c, c++, and java). Keyboard shortcut is very effective in operation. Debugging is faster than other IDE. Moreover, it executes almost all operating systems. Besides that you can change the layout , also it supports Maven.

It is not very stable, it crashes so many times. Also, shortcuts do not work properly all the time . For using the shortcuts you have to remember it otherwise you cannot use it. It needs to improve its memory utilization. Running time is very slow. For java users Eclipse is easy but for others, it is not so easy. Also, opening and closing time is more than normal time. Compared with VS Code Eclipse does not have a very clear interface. As it has so many options to change the settings so sometimes it is very difficult to change and also unnecessary some options are given.

De façon générale, ce que j'ai le plus apprécié dans l'IDE Eclipse pour le développement Java, c'est son éditeur de code riche en fonctionnalités qui accélère considérablement le codage.

Ce que j'ai le moins apprécié dans l'EDI Eclipse, c'est son interface graphique un peu austère et datée. Bien qu'Eclipse soit avant tout axé sur la productivité et la fonctionnalité plus que sur l'esthétique, son interface en tabs assez basique a tendance à paraître un peu dépassé visuellement et aussi moins attirant.

Eclipse IDE offers the capability to allow the users to develop plugins, which in my company was a killer feature because we had many proprietary languages that required also proprietary IDE. The plugins we developed helped a lot our dev teams community (about +1000 developers), bringing more efficiency and fun to the coding / testing / debugging activities.

If your application is too big, building it can cause the interface to hang, so, better to take coffee, a walk, to give time to Eclipse finish the process.

My main use of Eclipse is in the field of Java desktop and server-side development on Linux and MAC. Eclipse provides basic IDE services for Java developers which augments code auto-completion (not very responsive/intelligent), debugging, unit testing, and profiling services that supports rapid application development on the desktop. I used Eclipse for developing Servlet, JSP, and EJB server-side code...

Eclipse is still lagging in terms of code autocompletion compared to other popular Java IDEs such as Apache NetBeans and IntelliJ IDEA. Many developers are migrating from Eclipse to those IDE due to this reason. Eclipse will surely stay as the legacy Java IDE especially that the Eclipse project is adding support for other programming environments other than Java, but the user base is definitely not as large as it was in the previous 10 years or so.

This is where I learned Java and practiced my first intern job of backend testing for my company's website. Great for beginner and easy to learn, has a nice organized structure on the left panel that you can customized with accordingly to whatever project you're doing.

It gets buggy with syncing and sometimes JARs don't work properly you have to move them around or either manually/auto through maven repository to work well. Also it can crash if running too many test, so I use multiple computer instead. So much error (red text) while testing, always have to figure out how to fix them. Wish they just create a template or a way to fix these issues without having to figure it out, such as logj4 errors and compatibility errors. Wish I can have a in-app browser instead of having to switch screen and back to Eclipse over and over when testing browser.
