NETBEANS VS ECLIPSE ANDROID

when developing an Android app or working in a team where eclipse is used -, I do use Eclipse and hope that everything works (otherwise I prepare to waste hours searching the web, clicking through menus, and banging my head on the desk). Screenshots Eclipse vs Netbeans: Conclusion Heavy (long startup time, even compared to eclipse lots of memory usage) Many plugins only for eclipse, no (good) alternative for Netbeans (Google android, etc)Īuto-import when needed and auto-import-sortĪ lot of bugs (“a lot” is relative, but definitely too many for my taste and more than (I experienced in) Netbeans)īad documentation (website is badly out of date, lots of 404) Netbeans vs Eclipse: Individual Pros and Cons It starts faster, it reacts faster and it takes up way less memory. Not much to say, the point clearly goes to Eclipse. I want to write code, not search in menus and Google.Īlso, even when searching on the web, the results I get are links to, which either are outdated or not very helpful. These are only three small example, but it goes on like this and it is annoying. In Eclipse I often decide to write that one setter or constructor or whatever myself instead of clicking through the menu. Another example: Having to press Help to find the “Install new Software” option, really? That is not very intuitive.Īlso while both IDEs can auto-generate getter/setter/etc I use it in Netbeans far more often as it is easier to reach. Guessing to have to click on File -> Import -> General -> Existing Projects into workspace is not. A small and not too important example: Open project in the task bar is easy to find and makes sense.

I think the ui of Netbeans looks nicer and is easier to use.

This part is highly subjective but important non the less. Of course the templates are customizable, but it would be nice if it worked out of the box as well in Eclipse as it does in Netbeans.Īlso, Netbeans offers “assign return value to variable” option which spares one from always checking the exact signature of a method and some typing. It has more options and guesses right more often than Eclipse does. Both IDEs can auto-complete, but Netbeans does a better job at doing so.
