Overall Satisfaction with Eclipse
Eclipse is the main development environment that we use for writing code and making modifications to the existing source code. Using its different plugins we can access our database tables and even query an LDAP server.
- It's ideal for core Java and JAVA EE development.
- The visual builder plugins are excellent for making GUI, either in GWT or Swing applications.
- It has easy integration with source control management tools like GIT, SVN etc.
- Personally I think Eclipse is a wonderful product provided that its open source and community managed.
- I would like its Git/Gerrit plugin support to be better. It runs into strange merge issues when dealing with commits in multiple branches.
- Being an open source tool, it offers great value to any software team.
Eclipse has much more plugins available and a faster update process.
