Eclipse, the free and versatile IDE
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Eclipse as the main development environment for building software. In my personal case, I use it to develop web applications with Magnolia CMS product. Eclipse has different plugins you can find on its marketplace that allows you to easily integrate web bases solutions. It also supports many different languages and file types.
Pros
- Localhost server
- Languages support
- Code revision
- Code suggestions
Cons
- Performance
- Optimization
- Some bugs you find from time to time
Likelihood to Recommend
In my opinion, Eclipse is a well-suited integrated development environment that doesn't lack any particular functionality thanks to its marketplace and the community behind it. You can build any type of software, from web applications to desktop programs, with any tool you choose and Eclipse very likely will be able to handle it. The only negative point of Eclipse is that its performance is not optimal and consumes a lot of RAM from your PC.
