If you are trying to learn Java you shouldn't use an IDE. Otherwise, you learn the IDE instead of learning Java.

It wants to add a txt extension to everything, which combined with Windows' preference to hide file extensions, can lead to some pretty hard to spot problems. (You see Hello.java, but the compiler says it can't be found.) It doesn't automatically indent code, it doesn't convert tabs to spaces, it doesn't color syntax, it doesn't do code completion, and it has trouble with file endings from other operating systems. It's not a code editor and was never meant to be.

Are you thinking of XCode?
Mike Simmons wrote:Hmmm, the Eclipse/Maven integration (or lack thereof) was the primary reason I rebelled against Eclipse, last time I was asked to use it, and went back to IntelliJ. That was about 3.5 years ago. I hear it's better now. Maybe. But with IntelliJ, maven support is just there, and it works. It's not a separate plug-in that may or may not work depending on what other plug-ins are running and how your project is configured and the phase of the moon.
