IntelliJ vs Eclipse - Which is best IDE for java?

We're going to be comparing a look at IntelliJ and Eclipse, finding out which one is the best IDE for Java and Minecraft plugin development.

In this video, we'll be evaluating them on these 4 aspects:

- Appearance — User friendliness and speed of navigating in Eclipse/IntellIJ.
- Multi-dev environment — Working with multiple projects at once.
- Search — Using the search feature to find code snippets.
- Hot swap — Making code changes on the fly while Minecraft server is running without having to reload.

Using eclipse for my job and intellij for personal projects. I like both, I understand why the company I'm working for still uses eclipse. I really wish the UI of Eclipse would look and feel more modern.

Select whatever you want to search in the whole project and then press Ctrl + Shift + G in Eclipse. It will immediately list all places where the variable is used.

Awesome video, here after MineAcademy's week 1 lesson 5 about setting up IntelliJ or Eclipse

Hi, nice video as always, could do you make a more in depth analysis and a setup tutorial about the last feature? Keep up with the good work!

Using VS code for java and python. Previously used Eclipse. Uou can import borth color themes and key shortcuts from both Eclipse and IntelliJ. I can customise it to my taste. More mordern than Eclipse and not containing Russian spyware from IJ

@4:50 why isn't this feature implemented in IntelliJ yet? What's IntelliJ's stance on that? Why don't they include this? Pretty horrible blind spot to have.

Which is best Beginners use Java compiler Intellig or Eclipse sir ❓

[HyperBurger-vply]

First!
Amazing video as always big fan.

You should at least consider opening your java source file with notepad++ (Windows) notepadpp (Linux Distros). I use a simple notepad, without highlighting, it doesn't seem fair in this comparison. hehehehe

Still, comparing Text Editors with IDEs will always be an unfair comparison.

Everyone keeps saying eclipse is better…. IT IS SO UGLY AND ANNOYING TO USE!! Why doesn’t anyone ever point out how the “top” java ide is absolutely shit to use? It’s so confusing to look at, has horrible code tracing and search is horrible compared to vscode

This is ridiculous. Eclipse is awful. I struggle and struggle and struggle with Eclipse. Even for the simplest of things. And it is a dog to learn. InteliJ is renouned for being the best, albeit at a price.

Eclipse is the best. Intellij has allot of cool new thing but in the most basic and most important things it really sucks. Intellij is good for new projects before you upload them to the productions but if you have maintain an old project which is on production using Intellij is a really big risk since it can easy ruin your code with the problems with problems view and mandatory autosave feature built in into intellij which I really really hate. Also I can not believe anyone mention something like notpad or even notpad++ for development is this a joke are we in 1984 or 2024.
