In the history of computer development language, there is never been supported by such many manufacturers like Java. There are so many development tools, Java rookies, such as Liu Wei, who first entered the Grand View Garden, look at it, I don't know what choice. . Indeed, these tools have their own strengths, there is no absolute perfect, even if the old bird is also difficult to make a choice. In this article, I briefly introduced the characteristics of the common fifteen Java development tools, and hop the "instrument", hoping to help everyone.
1. JDK (Java Development Kit) Sun Java not only has made a rich language and operational environment, but also a free Java Development Toolset (JDK). Developers and end users can use this tool to develop Java programs.
JDK is easy to learn, you can write Java source files through any text editor (such as Windows Notepad, Uldit, EditPlus, FrontPage, and Dreamweaver et al., Then compiling Java sources into bytecode, then in DOS condition After performing the compiled Java file through the Java command, this can bring a beautiful memory of the DOS era programmer. Java beginners generally use this development tool.
From an initiator perspective, the JDK development Java program can quickly understand the relationship between partial code in the program, which is conducive to understanding the object-oriented design idea of Java. Another significant feature of JDK is to upgrade with the upgrade of Java (J2EE, J2SE, and J2ME). But it is also very obvious that it is very difficult to engage in large-scale enterprise Java applications, and cannot develop complicated Java software, which is also not conducive to group coordination development.
2, Java Workshop
Sun Microsystems launched Java Workshop 1.0 on March 26, 1996. This is the first multi-platform development tool that appears in the industry for Internet.com, which meets the needs of companies to develop Internet and intranet network applications. Java Workshop is fully written in Java language, is the first complete Java development environment sold in today's market. At present, the highest version of Java Workshop is 3.0. The characteristics of Java Workshop are as follows:
1) The structure is easy to create: Java Workshop is convenient than any other Java development tool in the creation of the platform-neutral grid structure.
2) Visual programming: Visual programming characteristics of Java Workshop are essential. Java Workshop allows programmers to rearrange these operations, and even identify filters that triggered operational behavior. The template generated by Java Workshop has many annotations, which is very helpful for programmers.
In addition, Java Workshop supports JDK1.1.3 and JavaBeans component models, API, and language features add flexibility in compiling Java applications. The Java Workshop development environment is excellent in portability, so that multiple platforms can be supported. At present, Java Workshop supports Solaris operating environment SPARC and Intel versions), Windows95, WindowsNT, and HP / UX and other platforms. Suitable for beginners to conduct some simple Java programming. The disadvantage of Java Workshop is that each visual object in Java Workshop will use the grid layout sooner. This design method is not used to it; Java Workdshop's palette is poor, only to meet most Basic requirements for the application. 3, NetBeans and Sun Java Studio 5
NetBeans is an open source Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for a variety of clients and web applications. Sun Java Studio is the latest commercial full-featured full-featured Java IDE, which is Sun, supports Solaris, Linux, and Windows platforms, which is suitable for creating and deploying 2-layer Java web applications and N-layer J2EE applications.
NetBeans is the industry's first open source IDE that supports innovative Java development. Developers can use industry powerful development tools to build desktops, web, or mobile applications. At the same time, through NetBeans and open API modular structures, third parties can expand or integrate NetBeans platforms very easily.
NetBeans3.5.1 is primarily aimed at the developers of general Java software, while Java One Studio5 mainly targets developers such as network services. SUN will soon launch Project Rave, and its goal is to help companies developers to develop software. NetBeans 3.5.1 compared to other development tools, the biggest difference is not only applicable to applications on various desktops, but also to develop applications in network services, it can develop applications based on J2ME-based mobile devices. Based on NetBeans 3.5.1, Sun has developed Java One Studio5 to provide users with a more advanced corporate programming environment. There is an application framework in the new Java One Studio5, developers can use these modules to quickly develop their own applications in network services.

JCREATOR can automatically find files containing the main function or an HTML file containing the applet, and then it runs the appropriate tool. In JCREATOR, we can add multiple projects while batch. JCREATOR is designed to be close to Windows interface, and users are familiar with it. Its biggest feature is that the JDK installed in our machine is the perfect combination of any other IDE. It is a Java development tool that is easy to get started by an initiator. The disadvantage is that simple program development cannot be developed. 11, Microsoft VJ
Visual J is a visual Java Language Integration Development Environment (IDE) launched by Microsoft, providing Java programmers with a new development environment and is a fairly excellent development tool. Regardless of integration, compilation speed, debugging function, or easy to learn, it reflects the use of Microsoft. Visual J has the following features: 1) Visual J puts the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as a stand-alone operating system component into Windows, making it independent from the browser. 2) Microsoft's Application Basic Class Library (AFC, Application Foundation Class Library) is extended to Sun's JDK, making the application base class library more suitable for use under Windows. 3) The Visual J debugger supports dynamic debugging, including single-step execution, setting breakpoints, observed variable value, and so on. 4) Visual J provides Some Program Wizards and Builders, which can easily help users quickly generate Java programs to help you create and modify files in your own project. 5) Visual J interface is friendly, its code editor has a function of intelligent awareness, online compilation, etc., so that the program is very convenient. Java's WFC is created in Visual J , which can directly access the Windows Application Interface (API) so you can write a full-meaning Windows application with Java language. 6) The fast application development feature of the Visual J Single Designer uses WFC to create a form-based application to make it easy and simple. The ActiveX data object (ADO, ACTIVEX DATA Objects) can be easily used by WFC to retrieve data and perform simple data binding. You can quickly access and display data in your form by using ActiveX data objects in the form designer. Visual J can combine Microsoft's consistent programming style, which is convenient for Java application development, but its transplantability is poor, not a pure Java development environment.
