The Coolest IDE For Java 2017-2018

Java being one of the most popular programming languages in the world, has a large number of IDEs available in the market made by big software companies and as well as by individuals. Some of the most popular IDEs are NetBeans, Eclipse, BlueJ and so many more. Almost all of them work perfectly and compile programs with ease.
But today what I'm gonna talk about is, an IDE, which not only serves all the functions of a regular Java IDE, but also has tons of extra and great features. I have been programming in Java for the last two years and have tried almost all the IDEs, starting from BlueJ to Dr. Java. A great IDE must be efficient, fast, must not affect the performance of the system, beautiful and must be filled with lots of exciting features, and, the only IDE that I found fulfilling all this is, IntelliJ IDEA. Honestly, it is the best IDE for java, that I've ever used.

Some of the features in IntelliJ IDEA which I loved are :

• Fresh and clutter free UI.
• The freedom to choose between themes - IntelliJ default and Dracula (my personal favourite).
• Smart Auto Completion.
• Byte Code Viewing.
• Super fast, zero lag.
• Comes pre-equipped with tools for mobile development, enterprises and web development.
• Its free.

The smart auto completion feature is just great, it scans your whole code and gives you smart suggestions just when you need them.

There are two versions of this product available, one for enterprises (paid) and the other one is for individual use(free). I've used the free version, and its great. But if you are looking an IDE to develop applications for your company, you might consider using the paid version, which will cost you $499 for the first year, $399 for the second year, and $299 from the third year onwards, each year. But, I would recommend using the free community edition and it does not differ much from the ultimate(paid) edition, but if again, if you have a big company, go for the paid version. I will be providing the download link for both the versions at the end of this article.

Here is the basic comparison between the free and paid versions of the product -
