Which IDE Do You Use?
I'm experimenting with Eclipse PDT these days. NetBeans looks like a good choice too; but I'm not really experienced in using IDEs; so can't say much.
Looking forward to your responses.

There is no doubt with Eclipse, total flexibility. but for complex project and writing heavy code it requires that IDE should know what you want.Kaustubh Katdare#-Link-Snipped-# - What are the immediate advantages of Intellij Idea IDE? I've read the comparisons online and a lot of people seem to prefer Eclipse. Eclipse might be popular because it's free.

With eclipse, one can use ctrl+space for auto-completion. eg. one can write CN + ctrl + space and it will generate ClassName.ianoopThere is no doubt with Eclipse, total flexibility. but for complex project and writing heavy code it requires that IDE should know what you want.
A simple example is , with Intellij when you want to create an object of class. you need to write ClassName className = new ClassName(parameters);
with intellij, the moment you start typing class name it will give you suggestion from all accessible classes which one you want and the above whole line could be written in 4-5 keystrokes.
With Eclipse its not possible yet.
Second, Eclipse doesn't facilitate navigation to java classes from xml file. Ctrl+click.

Yes, its there but with Intellij writing code is just like butter. you just need to concentrate on your logic.Anand TamariyaWith eclipse, one can use ctrl+space for auto-completion. eg. one can write CN + ctrl + space and it will generate ClassName.

I totally agree, the speed which you can gain using Intellij idea is unmatchable, it will however takes some time to get used to all the shortcuts it provide.ianoopYes, its there but with Intellij writing code is just like butter. you just need to concentrate on your logic.
One think in intellij hat can't open more than one project.
I use both of them and like for their features. 😀
With Intellij simply write sout and press tab and u get whole line of :Anand TamariyaWith eclipse, one can use ctrl+space for auto-completion. eg. one can write CN + ctrl + space and it will generate ClassName.

Eclipse: syso ctrl+Space. 😀rahul69With Intellij simply write sout and press tab and u get whole line of :
System.out.println(); I am not aware if Eclipse has this kind of code completion features😒

Since you use both (on a regular basis?), you are in a better position to highlight the differences. Writing code in Eclipse never felt any hassle to me. What exactly are some of the things that make you more productive using IntelliJ? That would be more objective and useful discussion.ianoopYes, its there but with Intellij writing code is just like butter. you just need to concentrate on your logic.
