I really find anything there. I like it\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes it is difficult to find what you are searching for. Integration with Target Platform can be difficultus > > In an enterprise environment, Eclipse Web Tools Platform is a good solution to find what you are searching for: JSF, Service tools, EJB tools and so on and on. ----- ### "Eclipse+ WSO2 Integration Studio, an IDE that takes a while to get used too" — 3.0/5 > **Rob** | *8 December 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Elipse with the add on of Integration Studio from WSO2 is the tool to create Mediation and Transformation artifacts for the WSO2 Enterprise Integrator. It is a full blown IDE that allows to develop Java programs but also works in conjunction with WSO2. The great benefit is that it allows to set up a graphical high level overview and fill in the configuration details either via properties or in the source view. It also allows to create extensions to WSO2 in Java so it is a multi purpose environment that really has a lot of options. The use that we have is limited to this combination of XML / Java based development, even with newbies in training. > > **Cons**: Getting used to Elipse takes some time. There is a number of do's and don'ts that you need to keep in mind in order to keep the product stable. Sometimes, switching between modes (graphical and source) can corrupt the configuration that you are developing. The number of option and views is also quite large and sometimes get people lost when they first work with it. In general, when you work with it for some time it gets better and you can really and quickly design configuration. > > Overall, Eclipse / Integration Studio is a handy tool for (WSO2) Developers because of the versatility and the possibilty for new users to set up a graphical overview and look in the source to see what is done 'under water'. That is the reason why we use it in training (and personally also for regular development). It is a product some people love to hate, but i tend more to the love side. ----- ### "Ecilpse - The Coder's Platform" — 4.0/5 > **MOHAMMAD AMIR** | *16 September 2020* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most important Pros are : 1. You need not learn all the Subclasses and Functions since Eclipse IDE will provide it for you. This let me focus on core Functional Part of code rather than remembering the Servlet Classes and JSP tags. 2. The Java Beans along with Spring Framework is best suited to run on the localhost server as Tomcat, Weblogic, and Maven are easy to configure in Eclipse. So We need not worry about the classpath or running from command line. 3. Eclipse provide all the 3 window pane(Model,view and Controller) in single desktop view making 3 tier web architecture very easy to develop. 4. GIT Version Control is really a good feature in Eclipse. > > **Cons**: 1. When you are beginning to learn the concept of Web Programming for any Language be it Java, Python or Haskell.. I advise not to use any IDE (pycharm, eclipse or Intellij. ) . This is because many compile time errors are removed by default by Eclipse so we don't develop the error debugging skills which is important for Code Reviews in future works. 2. Eclipse is mostly equipped with libraries and modules , Before importing a particular module especially in case of Web-Sockets, Blockchain Contracts, you should go i detail of that module to reduce the chances of errors. 3. The Plugins for Eclipse are not being updated timely which is very difficulty to communicate with Third Party Vendors for API Calls. Also Restart of Eclipse is required when you install a particular plugin. 4. The IDE is not suitable for Functional Programming Languages like Haskell, Clojure and CLisp. > > Eclipse is the best IDE for Educational Institutions for Teaching Perspective. I was able to learn the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) with Eclipse IDE. You don't need to worry about the GIT integration for version control. The startup time for Eclipse is very less, so you wont need to wait for a long time. With eclipse. you can earn OCJP and advance Java certifications easily since it lays focus on programming and business logic layer better than other IDEs. ----- ### "Okay IDE but better alternatives" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *3 December 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a free IDE for interacting with Java EE applications. There are not a lot of options out there, so out of the free tools it's pretty good. It has code completion, deploy support, etc. > > **Cons**: It's very clunky and doesn't have great code completion. The hot deployment is a bit buggy and doesn't always work properly. > > I think better alternatives exist so I wouldn't recommend it personally. I prefer using Intellij IDEA ultimate edition. ----- ### "Eclipse Useability" — 4.0/5 > **Muhammad Zeeshan** | *31 August 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: All the things work together is the best use of this IDE... Like Git and Tomcat Server we are using in it they are providing best. > > **Cons**: The design of this IDE because all other IDEs are updating their UI/UX day by day but the eclipse is still need improvements then it will be the preference for everyone. > > By the way overall good product by Eclipse Foundation. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/175991/eclipse-web-tools-platform?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/175991/eclipse-web-tools-platform) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
