I had experience with Java earlier, and currently on and off with Java development. But I will be involving complex projects soon. I am looking for suggestions for an IDE. I am fairly new to Eclipse, Intellij Idea. Is it better to start with IntelliJIDEA or eclipse would be suffice?
Do you guys think IntelliJIDEA will be smoother to start with as I dont have to go through several plug-ins and custom configuration with Eclipse? I will pretty much work with Web Services, Spring Framework (no UI development) and little bit of JSP.
Is IntelliJ IDEA community edition support Spring framework and web services?
Dev. env: Windows 7, JBoss, Weblogic app server
The paid version of IntelliJ is the better Java development environment. The free version is good for doinking but not for a real business IDE, IMO. Too many of the goodies are missing.
Eclipse is ok, you could do worse.
