Java programming tools There is are huge numbers of Java Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
and Java libraries/products that provide java developers with
many advantages. These are all Java programming tools. A Java IDE, or any IDE for that matter, enables a Java developer to create
a Java project which is essentially an organised collection of
Java source files and other resources. A Java project represents
a complete Java application or part of a Java application. A Java library is a collection of Java source files (uncompiled) or Java
class files (compiled and ready to be used) that extends functionality
of the Java platform. This includes Java networking, Java secure
programming, Java game programming, Java imaging, and many more. The quality of Java IDEs differs across the board. Some are free, some
are shareware and some can only be purchased. You could if you
wanted to use any text editor, for example Notepad in Windows,
to write a Java source file as it is only plain text. You would
then have to use the Java compiler (javac) to turn the source
file into a class file so that it can be executed by java. The
benefits of IDEs are that some have the Java Platform integrated
into them, so that it acts as a source file editor, a compiler
and a way to run the compiled Java source files. They also organise
your code so that you can switch between Java source files easily
and locate particular bodies or methods of code. The good ones
will also display any errors during compilation and provide shortcuts
for jumping to the line that caused the error. By using Java libraries, increased functionality is provided. Java game
programming, Java network programming, Java secure programming
and so on all become easier from having repetitive and time-consuming
code pre-made and documented, complete with documentation. Whether you have just started off in Java programming or an experienced
Java programmer it is worthwhile researching into the Java programming
tools that are out there as they can reduce your overall development
time. |
