Bug0049 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 What is the best Java IDE for Red Hat 7.2 - 9 ? I used to use JCreator ( from www.jcreator.com ) but I switched to Linux, and if I am to stay with Linux I need to be able to write programs in Java. What do you guys use? What do you find the best? easiest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dassaa Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Eclipse is a very good java IDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenLin Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 netbeans is also very good. I prefer eclipse, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStaticVoid Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 IntelliJ hands down. But if you don't have $99 to drop on an academic version, then get the next best thing which is Eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManXcalibur Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Myself I use Netbeans IDE, but I've had some exposure to Eclipes and it seems to be a really good IDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaredVolkl Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I've used both netbeans and eclipse. Personally, I prefer eclipse, but netbeans has a lot of good features too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug0049 Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 so does anyone have a guide on how to install eclipse? I downloaded it and extracted it, but theres not an rpm or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStaticVoid Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Download http://download2.eclipse.org/downloads/dro...8-linux-gtk.zip. $ cd $ wget http://download2.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/S-3.0M8-200403261517/eclipse-SDK-3.0M8-linux-gtk.zip $ unzip eclipse-SDK-3.0M8-linux-gtk.zip $ cd eclipse $ ./eclipse It should run as long as you have a JDK >= 1.4 in your PATH. You can check that by running $ java -version If it says "bash: java not found" or something to that effect, come back here and we'll help you set it up.

Bug0049 Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 I do have the Java SDK 1.4.2_04 installed. I installed it yesterday and I was playing Java games online. I think my path is messed up, but I dunno. But Yes, I do get the bash: java not found error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStaticVoid Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 (edited) Ok. Open up /etc/profile in your favorite text editor. At the very end of the file, add JAVA_HOME=/opt/sun-j2sdk export JAVA_HOME PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin export PATH Just replace "/opt/sun-j2sdk" with the directory to which you installed the JDK (it should be somewhere in /opt). Finally $ source /etc/profile $ java -version Everything should work fine then. Edited April 4, 2004 by Mr. Static Void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug0049 Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 do I have to be logged in as root to change the file? I try to add those to lines to the top of the profiles file and it says that it can't write to the file. When I go to properties the permissions are blacked out.

MrStaticVoid Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 First off, you have to add those lines to the END of the profile. Second, you must be root to do it. You can temporarily become root by typing 'su' in the console. Do something like $ su Password: # nano -w /etc/profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitjel Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I use IntelliJ at home and at work...best I've ever used. It's CVS integration and Refactoring features are top notch. You pay for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
