Which development environment do you prefer to develop Java programs. I tried JCreator, Eclipse and Intellij IDEA and I think Intellij IDEA is the best, its interface and functions are outstanding! What about your favourite ide?

I agree with you. I am using Intellij IDEA since its first releases (they are more than 5 years I think), when Eclipse was just starting, and I felt in love with it: it had a lot of new functions never seen in any IDE (like refactoring, code generation, and so on). Nowadays other IDEs have added the same functions, but I think IDEA is the most simple to use: you always find what you are looking for!

Of course all developers in my office can't work without Intellij IDEA. It has a gui and a lot of functions no other ide has...

I have worked under NetBEans and I Like that .DreamWeaver also provides an IDE but it doesnt provide any facility to build a code.

I used to programme with a simple editor... but it is so limitative in large complex projects, where a good IDE is absolutely needed.

Yeah you're right. I know most companies are using it because it is open source... I tried it personally and I was so happy to come back to Intellij IDEA... mainly for its gui.

Intellij IDEA is the best by far. I tried to switch to Eclipse but I had to come back to Intellij...

JBuilder..because of its drag and drop functionality, which helps craeting GUI's faster Other than JBuilder , Jcreator is one of the best because its simple and easy to customize.
