I will recommend all fellow developers to use Eclipse IDE
Reviewed on 2023/06/08
Pros
Extensibility: Eclipse's core strength lies in its extensibility. The IDE is built on a modular architecture, allowing developers to add functionality through a vast array of plugins. This extensibility makes Eclipse highly adaptable to different programming languages, frameworks, and project requirements.Language Support: Eclipse provides excellent support for a wide range of programming languages, including Java, C/C++, Python, JavaScript, PHP, and more. It offers features specific to each language, such as syntax highlighting, code completion, debugging, and refactoring, ensuring a productive coding experience across various development domains.
Cons
Resource Intensive: Eclipse is known to be resource-intensive, especially when working on larger projects. It can consume a significant amount of memory and processing power, which may impact the overall performance of the IDE and slow down the development process, particularly on less powerful machines.

Eclipse IDE: The Traditional IDE for Professional Java Development
Reviewed on 2023/08/11

I was an Eclipse user for developing Java desktop and server-side applications. I migrated to Apache NetBeans for a better user experience.
Pros
My main use of Eclipse is in the field of Java desktop and server-side development on Linux and MAC. Eclipse provides basic IDE services for Java developers which augments code auto-completion (not very responsive/intelligent), debugging, unit testing, and profiling services that supports rapid application development on the desktop. I used Eclipse for developing Servlet, JSP, and EJB server-side code as well. Eclipse can be linked to the Apache Tomcat Servlet container to support the automatic deployment of Java server-side components on application servers. Moreover, desktop applications requiring RDBMS access can be easily developed in Eclipse by loading pre-imported JDBC drivers for popular databases such as MySQL and Oracle. Eclipse is a rich Java IDE but faithfully many other IDEs such as Apache NetBeans and IntelliJ IDEA are much more user-friendly and intelligent in terms of code autocompletion and debugging.
Cons
Eclipse is still lagging in terms of code autocompletion compared to other popular Java IDEs such as Apache NetBeans and IntelliJ IDEA. Many developers are migrating from Eclipse to those IDE due to this reason. Eclipse will surely stay as the legacy Java IDE especially that the Eclipse project is adding support for other programming environments other than Java, but the user base is definitely not as large as it was in the previous 10 years or so.

My experience is really excellent with this software. I learnt java fully through this software and I also suggest my many friends. Actually using this software reduces time complexity of writing code and also reduces errors.
Pros
I have used eclipse IDE for programming of Java.It is relly very helpfull as it provides suggestions and shortcuts which reduces time complexity and also reduces chances of error.
Cons
Actually I like almost every aspect of it.

Eclipse Review
Reviewed on 2024/05/04
Pros
One of the things I liked about the Eclipse IDE is the features and functionality. One example is the JUnit testing and it was pretty straightforward and it saved me a couple times on my assignments. It's also pretty handy to use.
Cons
One of my main complaints about the Eclipse IDE is the interface look. I get that it was a good IDE to use back then, but it looks too "old". Like the buttons and clumped together and although it looks great, it doesn't look the best. I would prefer the look of other IDEs than Eclipse.

Developer Friendly
Reviewed on 2023/07/09
Pros
We use the Java IDE to manage the code written in c++ to access the devices on the ATM and check their status and make the outputs meaningful. These devices are devices such as card reader, cash dispenser, receipt printer, pinpad. Using Eclipse IDE is a blessing for the software developer because it pleases the developer with every feature. My favorite features are code completion, extensible plugins, drag and drop feature, simple and straightforward interface, meaningful bugs, debug mechanism and most importantly community support.
Cons
I am very happy with Eclipse IDE, I love every feature of it.

Eclipse, an industry standard
Reviewed on 2023/07/12
Pros
Eclipse continues to be one of the best Java IDEs available. My specific use case is not with Java, but particularly ABAP via the extension ABAP development tools. It is a great leap ahead of the traditional development via SE80 in the SAP client. Eclipse is very extensible and has existed for a long time, which allows to have a great set of add-ons available to enhance your development. Also, SAP has focused all its new features on Eclipse. Now tools and frameworks such as CDS, RAP, AMDP are only available on Eclipse.
Cons
It has a steep learning curve. When you open it for the first time, it can be overwhelming to look at so many options, menus. You also have to understand views and perspectives to make full use of it.It can also look outdated, especially when you compare it to IDEs with modern UIs such as Visual Studio Code which is one of the most popular ones.

Making Coding Easy for Me!
Reviewed on 2023/10/30
Pros
Eclipse IDE is my go-to tool! It simplifies coding with its user-friendly interface and real-time error checks. Whenever I'm stuck, the helpful community support is a lifesaver. It's not just software; it's my coding buddy, boosting my confidence every day.
Cons
I feel a bit sluggish using Eclipse, especially when handling large projects. And installing plugins is a bit confusing and there are not many plugins compared to other IDE.

It contains many significant features, including automatic syntax validation and assistance with code reworking. There isn't a need to install a new IDE because it is an all-encompassing IDE that enables development in a variety of languages; all we have to do is install the required plugins inside the app. Teams can use it to guarantee that their applications are operating correctly and at peak efficiency.
Pros
Eclipse's ability to offer a standard platform for the creation of multiple software technologies is one of its strongest features. It helps with no code revision after execution by identifying issues before the code is executed. Wherever a caution symbol appears, we can modify the lines. In Eclipse, importing and exporting projects is quick and simple. My development has benefited greatly from Eclipse's integration with Git and other version control tools. It has a tonne of plugins, which will enable us to personalize the application and do a lot of exploring.
Cons
The AI-based auto-completion system has to be improved because it currently completes codes quite slowly. Its size and resource requirements may cause older PCs to perform more slowly. The time it takes to open and run the code can be extremely long.

We're still using Eclipse as our Monolithic software development tool, coding there has been a blessing, the easiness to set up an entire workstation from 0 is outstanding.
Pros
I think the feature I can enjoy the most while using Eclipse is for sure the UI, really clean, able to make and download some plugins but the best feature is for sure the simplicity of the UI.
Cons
I think they could improve the adaptability to different languages, IntelliSense sometimes works and sometimes doesn't work when switching, the competitors are crawling because they added a lot of API plugins that Eclipse does not have.

Because Eclipse is an open-source platform, it is available for free download and use. Additionally, programmers have access to the source code and can change it to fit their requirements.
Cons
Despite being a widely used platform, Eclipse's documentation can occasionally be lacking. Because of this, implementing sophisticated features or troubleshooting problems may be difficult.

Overall experience with Eclipse IDE is good for JAVA code devlopment work. It's free and good plugins library available for customization. Look and feel can be little better though. Resource usage on machine needs to be improved. Need to make it more lightweight with smooth performance.

It is an open source Integrated Development Environment tool , so it is free to use. Lots of plugins are available in eclipse market place to customize the IDE as per our needs. Good support for Spring based application , servers like tomcat. Good Debugging Features , specially for Java code development. Simple to use IDE.
Cons
It is very resource intensive. so sometimes it makes the machine slow and consumes high CPU and memory. The look and feel is little outdated as compared to commercial IDE's like Intellij Idea. Apart from that, overall the IDE is good for cost effective software development

Easy access to every code function
Reviewed on 2023/03/11
Pros
I like the most about Eclipse is that how easily I can check where the class function is defined and get to the particular file. I also like how easily we can search the file and method name using some shortcut keys.
Cons
The build process can be slow sometimes in Eclipse. Also, you need to integrate some build software for compiling the code. It would be good if all that's already installed.

One of the best IDE for Java Developers

Satisfied.
Satisfied.
Pros
1) The best part for me is how simple and sleek the design of this product is. It is amicable to use, and the navigations and other options are easy to track and learn2) So many shortcuts to use, especially from a developers point of view, and they can also be customized easily 3) Debugger is one of the best. I have mainly used Eclipse IDE to develop Java Applications and Spring Boot Applications and the Debugger is the most valuable part of the tool.4) We can also add Extensions to the tool, such as SonarCube and SonarLint that is also a developer-friendly feature5) Search functionality is lightning-fast and is helpful most of the time.
Cons
1) The Version Control System and repository Link feature can be improved somewhat.2) Though the design is simple and easy to use, we can see some improvements in the UX to keep it up with the new market trends!

Apart from the reduce the performance due to the plugin handler(might be on my machine only) the overall experience is fantastic i get to know eclipse IDE when most of the famous code editors were paid and eclipse opened a wide variety of selections for me specially with their android development suite(i know google made that but it was still running on eclipse) times went by and new laguages dropped in but the dev community were able to pull everything to maintain Eclipse as the Modern IDE for most Open Source fans and followers.
Pros
I am amazed how i forgot to review Eclipse as i am using the same since 2014 or should i say when the time android studio was based on it. If i were to say myself the wide selection of plugins and ofcourse countless devs working on Eclipse IDE to modernize or make it better for new generation to come is simply extra-ordinary. I love the way how it adapts the code formatting and refracting as it's best just define the project language and you are ready to go, simple yet amazing.
Cons
There are few things here and there ofcourse only in my personal opinion the thing i would love to have changed is it's plugin handler, i love how many plugins are available for it but the plugin handler sometimes just encrease the load time for some projects that aren't even using that many plugins. That's all nothing else.
