Java IDE Options For Beginner And Pro Java Programmers

By -
Java IDE Intellij, Netbeans, Eclipse, VS Code

Programming in Java can be easily done with just a text editor, because the Object oriented style, and namespace, etc, make it's hard to write all the codes by our hand, we need a little bit of help of an IDE, often we need very advanced IDE in order to make it easy for the development process. Unlike an interpreted language like Python, which you don't need to compile it to test the results, so every code changes you can look the output right away, Java is compiled language, it's gonna be time consuming if you are not using any tool, so every small changes you should compile it first to know the exact results. With IDE, they will tell you a usually red notification if there's an error on your codes so before you compile the code you can fix it first.

Below are some JAVA IDE options you can choose for your Java development IDE.

1. Intellij IDEA

In my opinion the best Java IDE in the world, and probably the best IDE in whatever environment. It supports many Java technology analysis, it makes your code ready for run time, or it will show you an error if it's not. So many plugins you can install from Intellij plugin marketplace to help you write Java codes with code highlighting, faster development, testing the code, compile it, deploy it, work with your team using version control, integrated with database, libraries, configuration, annotation, code refactoring, and so many amazing features really advanced you can check it yourself if you don't believe how amazing it is.

Intellij IDEA is not just for professional programmers, yes it is really huge and very advanced and smart, and also pricey. But if cost is the reason, you can try the Community edition which is free but has limited features, if you like it you can upgrade to Intellij Ultimate edition.

2. Netbeans

I am still have Netbeans installed on my computer, but not very often. It is the first Java IDE I've ever used for coding in Java, when i am on the process of learning Java languages it is really helpful at first, but then it becomes unresponsive and ugly when i use HiDPI laptop, the fonts becomes small, everything just not look comfortable for doing long term Java development.

The reasons I use Netbeans is because it's free but it almost as good as any other Java IDE. Sure it can handle most of Java syntax, running, test, maven, refactoring the code, version control and many more, so if you are just a beginner, maybe you can use Netbeans because it's lighter than Intellij.

3. Eclipse

I don't use Eclipse IDE to long, i don't know how to use it, the UI is not very good and probably have the same features as what Netbeans have, it's never attracts me, but many Java developers using Eclipse heavily on their daily basis as their main Java IDE. Eclipse especially because it is light, small footprint, the download size is only about 50 megabytes. Other than that, inside Eclipse, the features is very much the same as Netbeans.

Most of Java IDE is very memory consuming, but Eclipse maybe the lightest IDE, it is not very much using your computer resources.

4. VS Code

VS codes is not actually a Java IDE, it's a general text editor you can use to do simple Java programming, unlike The big three (Intellij, Netbeans, Eclipse), which is really heavily suited for Java, Vs code only can be used as Java development editor by using some Java extensions( kind of plugins) you can get and install available from Vs code marketplace. How good can Vs codes doing Java programming depends on the extensions you choose. Vs codes is not even considered as an IDE, it's just a text editor which advanced plugins. But that's why I like VS codes, with just a single program you can do programming for almost all languages on it.

Testing is an important part of Java development, whether it's unit testing or integrated testing, the IDE that support testing library like JUnit is one of the big advantages of using those IDE. JUnit is really great tools for testing your Java program before you deploy it to production, so it can minimize bugs at run time. Intellij, Netbeans, Eclipse and VS codes can support testing.

I am an experiences web developer, have a good problem-solving and deep understanding of software development principles. With comprehensive skill set in Java, PHP, Python, C and JavaScript. Able to do database thing like MySQL and Oracle. Along with expertise in frameworks like Spring, React, and Firebase. Have a solid understanding of software development methodologies, like Agile and Scrum. I applies best practices to ensure the development process is efficient and of the highest quality output.

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

By -

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil

ERROR 1348 Column Password Is Not Updatable When Updating MySQL Root Password

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to

Usually you will need a pair of SSH username and password to connect to a remote server. But there's also another way to connect to the server via SSH but without password, just using a dot pem (example.pem) file. Here's how we usually do on Windows 1. Let’s SSH login using pem to confirm if it’s throwing error or the pem is fine, if error then we need to move to step 2 to fix it: ssh adam@10.0.0.123  -i server-cert.pem And here's the usual error that will throw if your pem file is not ready for SSH login. You need to follow the next step to make your pem certificate ready to login to your server via SSH. 2. Open Windows Explorer, then right-click on the pem file, then select "Properties". Navigate to the "Security" tab, and click "Advanced" 3. Disable inheritance 4. Delete all permissions, so it doesn’t have any permission 5. Now add you as the only only owner. By click button Add and then Select a principal, then Advanced. 6. On the showing p

Flutter Button With Left Align Text and Icon

flutter button left text Developing a flutter UI is very difficult for a beginner or I think any other technology it’s very intimidating for a starter. I remember my first time trying to make a button in Flutter that had left aligned text in it. I spent a lot of time on how to make it but never made it. Once you are getting familiar with flutter widget or component blocks, you can apply whatever style you want for your app. In html you can just do something like <button style=”text-align:left”>Text</button> but in flutter it is a bit tricky. So here I provide an example on how you can align text inside a flutter button to the left. Flutter button with left align text import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp(MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( title: 'Flutter Demo', theme: ThemeData( primarySwatch: Colors.blue, visualDe
