Journal Lumpish Scholar's Journal: IntelliJ IDEA 4.0 Personal License half off until 4/22 1

Journal by Lumpish Scholar

IntelliJ IDEA is a commercial Java IDE said to be so good, devlopers would use it if they had to pay their own money for it. The price recently rose to $500.

Except that, between April 13 and 22, the price for a personal license has been reduced to $250.

Why IntelliJ IDEA rather than Eclipse or NetBeans? Mostly because of it's great support for refactoring. Maybe because of its GUI builder. Its early "generics-aware" support ("The easy and lightweight Setup Wizard will guide you through downloading and installing the latest JSR-014 implementation, if you prefer to live on the bleeding edge of Java technology") can't hurt. Possibly one of its other features would be the killer.

Anyone have any opinions they'd like to share?

  • I'm an eclipse user, can someone contrast the refactoring abilities of Eclipse to IntelliJ? I'm pretty darn impressed with Eclipse's abilities to start with, and don't find myself wanting a lot more functionality. Then again, people don't ask for things they don't know exist...
