Could you elaborate on what you mean by "configuring the IDE"? I never had to configure Eclipse in any way to start a new project. I don't have much experience

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "configuring the IDE"? I never had to configure Eclipse in any way to start a new project. I don't have much experience with NetBeans or IDEA, but I sincerely doubt that you need to do any special configuration before you can start a new project there either.
If you're talking about workspace preferences, then you should know that these can be imported, so again, no complicated configuration is really needed.
- lightblade 15y agoBy configuring, I don't just mean the IDE. Generally, it's about setting up the project structure, writing your configuration XML, and fetching all the dependencies libraries. Usually, this involves the writing of Maven or Ant XML files, and generating the project from it. Sometimes, the IDE chokes and you have do it all be hand. Eclipse is notorious for having their plugins conflicting with each other. I switched from Eclipse to IntelliJ for that very reason. A lot of the modern programming languages offers package managers that dramatically improves this process. The only thing that Java has is Maven..and Maven pom files aren't just simple dependency management.
