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.

I think this is the very first video I've seen which explain simple and without any doubt differences between both

[@CristianSGuedes]

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

[@JustanEarthServer]

Ended up choosing IntelliJ for the visuals

[@kangarko]

@@JustanEarthServer Thanks!

[@JustanEarthServer]

nvm, using Eclipse for the multi dev and instant changes in the server

[@HannesDev]

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.

[@fire-goat]

that's the reason why so many people prefer intellij. UI is amazing!

[@Submersed24]

Eclipse is just so ugly I can’t use it. There’s myEclipse which is slightly better though. But intellij just feels way smoother

[@HyperBurger-vp1ly]

First! Amazing video as always big fan.

[@kangarko]

Thanks!

[@vqntoh]

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!

[@kangarko]

Thanks, sure. It's on my list :)

[@sternenherz]

@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.

[@pravatnagarkoti5956]

which font did u use

[@kangarko]

JetBrains Mono font

[@erano01]

[@domi..infinityrider7293]

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

[@kangarko]

Does not matter

[@Julian_0007]

or VS Code 🙃

[@zcreepertv]

The White mode kills me XD

[@kangarko]

I'll switch to dark man :)

[@Gautamsverma]

[@user-iq2ir6bv7l]

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.

[@kangarko]

Sounds fair to me haha!

[@totomomo18]

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.

[@kangarko]

Thanks for your input, notepad was a joke haha

[@totomomo18]

@@kangarko Could you do a longer video Eclipse vs Intellij. I can give you allot of examples why Intellij sucks :) It may be more modern and looks better but when you start working in it. It really fails on the most basic things of any ide not just Eclipse. One example is the Intellij has more modem UI but they constantly change it and move it around that things like Stack Overflow and the Ai can not keep up with their changes not even their own documentation is not update

[@fatmilf1498]

how is this even up for debate

[@peninja_]

Notepad is better

[@kangarko]

*Notepad++

[@peninja_]

Nah Just Notepad@@kangarko

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
