"Still Reliable, But Needs Improved Issue Detection and improved look"
What do you like best about Eclipse?

When it comes to ease of use, I find Eclipse IDE straightforward and flexible. The interface is intuitive, making it simple to understand how to navigate and utilize its features.

In terms of implementation, adding plugins is a smooth process. There is a wide variety of plugins available, and the large community means there is plenty of support if you run into issues. Integrating Git Control is also uncomplicated.

Regarding customer support, most of the help comes from the community rather than official support channels. The community is active and helpful, and since Eclipse IDE is open source, it is well documented.

Eclipse supports standard build tools like Maven, and Tomcat can be used right out of the box.

As for how often I use it, I mainly rely on Eclipse during school hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eclipse?

The software could use improved methods for identifying problems in my program.

Even with it being open-sourced it's still looks dated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Plat form independent IDE"
What do you like best about Eclipse?

I am using enterprise addition for development and eclipse has the tool where most of the subtools are available for directly use. SO there is 3 main features what i like the most;

1. Modularity

2.Flexibility

3.User specific Customization

we have access that we can install the feature what we need. this also make it lean so other 3rd party vendor can easily contribute by.

In my work day i am using it day to day life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Eclipse IDE is an outdated but easy to use for Java application development"
What do you like best about Eclipse?

The design, despite it looking outdated, is easy to use. The tabs are on the top, the files are on the side. The code editor is in the middle.

For it's ease of implementation. we can use it with git and github. Good for teamwork as well.

For its customer support, it's not much but it has a big community still supporting it so me and my classmates just ask the community.

For frequency of use, we use it once a week.

For it's number of features, I haven't explored everything yet, but for it's essentials. It's good for Java Development and Maven Development.

Easily integrated in our computers, just download it, set a workspace folder and you can create java projects there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eclipse?

It looks outdated like it's made for Windows 7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Working with eclipse for java project"
What do you like best about Eclipse?

Eclipse makes Java development very efficient thanks to its powerful code completion, integrated debugger, and strong support for Maven and Gradle. I really like how easy it is to manage large Java projects, navigate through classes, and refactor code safely. The availability of plugins and integration with version control systems (like Git) makes it a complete environment for professional Java development. It’s reliable, well-documented, and helps me stay productive every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eclipse?

Sometimes Eclipse can feel a bit heavy compared to lighter IDEs, and startup time may be slower when working on very large Java projects. The number of plugins is great, but it can also make configuration a bit complex for new users. However, once set up, it’s a very stable and powerful IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"workhorse for a developer"

The first thing is about the UI where i love to code in java and it has everything to build a small scale to large scale applications and also it supports cross platform Compatibility.

What do you dislike about Eclipse?

"Versatile Java Development Platform with Great Integration"
What do you like best about Eclipse?

I really appreciate Eclipse for its excellent support in Java development. It provides a seamless experience with intelligent code completion and a powerful built-in debugger, which are invaluable for troubleshooting. The integration with various plugins enhances my workflow significantly, allowing seamless integration with tools like Jenkins, granting me a smooth DevOps experience. Eclipse's open-source nature, along with a vibrant community, offers strong support and flexible customization options. I find the platform ID highly efficient for compiling Java code, reducing the time-consuming aspects of old processes. The wide acceptance of plugins and dependencies makes Eclipse a market leader today, catering to large and complex projects efficiently. Its vast library enables easy tailoring of the IDE for different project types, from enterprise Java to various testing frameworks, helping me manage project size effortlessly and maintain high-quality development standards. The integration with AWS toolkit makes cloud deployment much easier, and overall, Eclipse acts as a complete development ecosystem rather than just a coding tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Eclipse?

I find Eclipse's performance could be improved as it sometimes feels heavy, leading to slower startup times or occasional delays, especially when handling certain tasks. Additionally, the user interface could benefit from a more modern and streamlined design to simplify the installation process, making it more approachable for new users.
