What is IDE?
What is integrated development environment or IDE? It is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of at least a source code editor, build automation tools, and debugger. Some of the IDEs such as NetBeans and Eclipse, contain the necessary compiler. Integrated Development Environments are designed to maximize a programmers productivity. Reducing development environment set up time can increase a developer’s productivity, especially in cases, when learning to use the IDE is faster than manually integrating and learning all the individual tools.
What are the most popular IDEs?
The most popular IDEs for Java Development are: Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, and Android studio for Android projects. I have a working experience with each of them and, to be honest, I can conclude that they are very similar to each other. The only difference between them is the way how to configure the specific project, because the same buttons are located different places. That is the short answer regarding the major differences between these IDEs.
