Answer 1

The major advantage of eclipse over the other Java IDEs is that the eclipse had feature and functionality that can help the user to debug the code result , the compilation time of eclipse is less and moreover it support different build system like CMAKE and it is easy to add plugins and libraries the program than any other Java IDE. Another example of Java IDE is NetBeans which is also a highly used programming platform for Java which has support for large number of libraries but it's compilation time is higher than the eclipse but it has no advantage like it uses less amount of Ram then the eclipse and it does not have any issues regarding hanging the system. Eclipse has a small size which makes it most preferable choice for the programmers then any other Java IDE.
