You misunderstand my point completely. I was trying to say the Java ecosystem is complicated and the only way it works is by using large IDEs. Saying how awesome Java IDEs are is disingenuous because Java is unusable without them.
- taway_1212 10y agoMost Java people I know use IDEs mostly just to edit and debug the code, and does the builds/runs/tests from the command line.
- stewbrew 10y agoWhat do you mean with "just to edit"? Aren't there any (compilation) errors, warnings displayed anywhere?
- taway_1212 10y agoYeah there are, sorry, a this point I consider them basically auxiliary editor features. I forgot that some other languages don't have this luxury.
- PerfectDlite 10y ago> because Java is unusable without them This is like saying 'Javascript is unusable without IDEs', you know.
- jerryszczerry 10y agoAnd this is making Java look good how exactly?
- PerfectDlite 10y agoThis makes all programmers liking to write code with maximum level of comfort - e.g. using IDEs.
