Java IDE

[PurpleTentacle]

We have 2 or 3 students that want to write their projects in Java (yes Java, not Java Script).

 

They've mentioned https://www.eclipse.org/ide/

 

Does anyone have students using Java for their projects?

 

If so, what IDE and JRE do you give them?

Can also use VSCode, you'd need JDK too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK

Ouch, I used BlueJ!

I start with the simplest tools, notepad for example, for many things, making a website, coding, kids barely know what a filesystem or command line is, so have to start there

Jetbrains IntelliJ is the industry standard for Java development. They have a community edition which is free for everyone and all products of their ides are free anyway for users with .ac.uk emails https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/installation-guide.html

When I was at school we used paper coding sheets which were then taken away and came back as paper tape. Even when I first started work, everything was written onto coding sheets before being turned into punched cards, and woe betide anyone who dropped a deck.

And Java is slightly faster than that :-)

Not sure whether Visual Studio Code for Education enabled Java - but worth a look:
