This is their "light IDE" basically, the equivalent of VS Code. Their Java IDE is the full thing, well, Eclipse. Although I personally prefer IntelliJ IDEA.
Is anyone using Eclipse anymore? I’ve barely heard anything about it the past 10 years.
Had a coworker five years ago who wouldn’t let go of it. And he was really productive.
To my understanding, there are still some things it does better than IntelliJ, for instance being able to add all missing imports in one go instead of one by one.
I’ll admit though that this is a rather tiny advantage, and as I haven’t touched Java in quite a while, it may be even outdated.
It is outdated. It just requires two clicks.
Which clicks? I haven't found them.
