I am Java developer who is using Eclipse on a X86 computer to code. I am considering to buy for other reasons an Desktop Mac computer and I would like to use this computer to do my coding work. I know there is a Eclipse version for Macs, I am asking if there may be some problems/issues related to Macintosh computers. Thanks!

    It really depends what you’ll be doing.

    In terms of the IDE, it will work just fine and you can copy your files/projects over and they will “just work”.

    However, there are some things you need to be weary of:

    • Key mappings might be different
    • You won’t be able to do any JavaME programming as there is no Mac toolkit for that.
    • If you’re doing Swing development, make sure you test your code on your target environment as things might look different.

    Other than that, Macs work fantastic for Java coding.
