![]() ![]() In eclipse I often end up with many opened up views, which I am not interested in. This way you tend to only have the Tool-Windows open, which you currently use. Also you can focus Tool-Windows better and discard them again: Alt+F1 jumps to respective window, pressing Alt+F1 closes it again. On left, right and bottom you can find the so called ‘Tool-Windows’ (can be compared to Eclipse views). There is only one perspective with the main editor at center. You don’t have the millions of perspectives and views as in Eclipse. ![]() Generally the IntelliJ IDE layout and the look-and-feel is more tidied up and clear. ![]() IntelliJ taking aheadįollowing things I would emphasize when it comes to advantages of IntelliJ: Clear IDE Layout It’s different, but is difficult to say which strategy to prefer, both got pros and cons, so I want to dig deeper what advantages exist inside IDE. metadata/ folder, and opening this workspace is completely uncoupled from any user-settings outside the workspace.

Further more IntelliJ configures things globally in your home directory and most settings are read from there no matter where you got your IntelliJ working directory with all your projects/modules. In IntelliJ the eclipse-workspace is a project and a eclipse-project is a module. First noticed difference is the general workspace layout. Download and installation is straightforward and easy. Though IntelliJ costs a bit you get a free evaluation license for a month. My reference IDEs had been Eclipse 3.3.2 and IntelliJ 7.0.3. Following article gives an overview of my impressions on trying out a different IDE. A few months ago I was interested how my implementation and design work would “feel” with a different IDE, so as a long-time Eclipse user I gave IntelliJ a chance. For that central IDE-tool you should try to use the best one on the market. To master frameworks (Spring, Hibernate, EJB, Struts etc.) and language-systems (Java, PHP, Groovy, C++) you need your “big” handy IDE tool which is used for many reasons: Inclusions of third party libs (dependency-management), trigger automatic compiles (if neccessary), automatic/safe refactorings, browsing code, debug, execute tests etc. ![]()
