A Great IDE for Java Devepolers

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

April 23, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use the NetBeans tool to make coding in PHP programming language. NetBeans makes it very easy for us to create an e-commerce site. The wide library and simple user interface are the reason why we prefer NetBeans. Also, since we are working on Business Analytics, I plan to do the coding process with Python via NetBeans.

Pros

Working synchronously with Github ensures that all team employees can access the project.
It can work on many platforms such as Windows and Linux. We can also run all libraries for the Linux environment
The strongest part of NetBeans is that it has Visual Web Pack feature. Adding drag and drop technology to its content, NetBeans Java is the ideal tool for compiling.

Cons

NetBeans creates the configuration file itself and it is difficult for us to be unable to change the configuration file on different operating systems.
When compiling code, compilation and execution performance is slower than competing IDEs.

Likelihood to Recommend

In particular, you can manage project files with a useful directory and file window. It also allows your projects to access existing FTP servers and sub-version repositories. Thanks to these tools, it makes our life easier to carry out all your transactions from a single point. It is also possible to copy and paste your projects on another computer. You can synchronize with Eclipse projects and buy Eclipse projects with NetBeans.

NetBeans: Best free and open-source software for development

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

September 11, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used by my department involving a group of skilled programmers. This programming environment has several tools that help my organisation to develop software quickly, especially if we need to build a graphical interface quickly and without major complications. I basically work on NetBeans to develop enterprise web applications using Java Server Pages, Java Server Faces and Hibernate. NetBeans makes the work [become] handy and the code is easily understandable and readable.

Pros

NetBeans supports a large number of Java applications such as J2SE and EJB.
Easy to install
Free and open source
When you are developing your applications, you can detect errors very quickly.
Indicating edited code and files based on GIT commits

Cons

Outdated framework support.
Violating PSR-2 coding standards.
The issue with NetBeans is that it takes a lot of time to load and consumes a lot of memory.
Consumes more memory space as compared to other IDEs.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are a beginner, then NetBeans IDE is the best choice for you for development in Java, Javascript, PHP etc. It is a software that allows quick adaptation for new projects or people who do not know much about development. I fully recommend NetBeans IDE; with additional plugins installed it can be used for development with other programming languages.

NetBeans IDE for Java Developers

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

August 8, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use NetBeans for developing the majority of Java and J2EE applications for our organizations, and also to assist in programming different applications for organizations/clients we work for.

It mostly addresses rich User Interface applications that have abundant/involves language support and server side programming, like rest service, data storage, communicating with third party interfaces, and more..

Pros

Very good IDE for programming Java and J2EE applications
Good IDE for Java debugging and run test cases.
Good IDE for Hibernate, iBATIS framework, and web services.

Cons

I would say Netbeans needs to be improved in providing plugins for developing Android and iOS mobile applications
It would be better if Netbeans could be built in a lighter version.

Likelihood to Recommend

As said earlier, NetBeans is very well suited for all kind of Java and J2EE application programming. Also this product has good integration and built-in plugins that support various framework like Spring, Hibernate, Struts, and more.

Less appropriate to be used for developing mobile applications that do not support plugins for both Android and iOS.

A Powerful Tool for building enterprise Java applications

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

September 12, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Most of the coding is done through Netbeans. Netbeans provides you with the set of tools which makes it easier to code. The intellisense feature of it allows coders to type in code and netbeans automatically shows you a list of functions from which you can select. Netbeans is a free and an open source software, which helps in collaborating with others.

Pros

Good for Collaboration
Open Source
Good for Debugging and Testing Code

Cons

Should have more add-ons on the latest technologies like Angular and ReactJS
The software occupies lots of space and works very slow on computers having i3 processor
Netbeans provide only one view unlike Eclipse

Likelihood to Recommend

It's best suited for collaboration. It is suitable for developing and testing enterprise Java applications. It has good debugging and testing strategies. The only drawback is debugging is very slow in Netbeans in comparison to Eclipse. It doesn't contain only Java as the coding language. It contains support for various others but is limited to the latest web development technologies.
