It will be on GitHub soon, look for ciacob/SIRIUS It was so bad that I started to build my own AS3 / Flex / AIR build engine it overcomes the above problems and I can use it in place of IntelliJ's build & pack functionality. Switched From: Apache NetBeans and Eclipse IDEĬomments: Extremely bad experience. The integrated toolset, the number of plugins, the support and the speed of intelliJ puts all other java IDEs to shame. The costs rule out a lot of people from using this tool over something free like eclipse/netbeans.Īlternatives Considered: Apache NetBeans and Eclipse IDE It works out if you are a large company or a teacher/student. The cost is very heavy especially for a startup company. I've grown up using netbeans and eclipse, but have always needed to rely on external tools to provide additional features. If you are searching for a tool to do something very specific in Java - usually there is a plugin for it. Jetbrains packs a lot of features into one IDE. Unit testing software, database plugins, memory monitors are all a part of this tool. IntelliJ also does a very good job with memory management on MacOS and doesn't need any fancy configuration to get up and running. Comments: A number of the other IDEs on the market are resource heavy and sluggish.
