thank guys.

But i need to know how often Java programmers use IDE for Java Programming?

[Londbrok]

All the time. Syntax coloring, code completion and formatting are simply tools you would miss more than two of your toes. On top of that especially SVN functionality is something that needs to be there when a butch of people work on the same code tree.

This is not to say that you could not code with notepad. Sure you can, but once the scope gets big enough why would you? As to which IDE to use, I vote for Eclipse as well. Of course much of it rests on personal preference, but I really like the extendability of it. Even outside of Java, If I need to code in Ruby, Python or Scala, or need some other addition there pretty much always is a plugin... and mostly even a working version.

[firebladeiii]

sure, You are right. I installed it. It is better than what i thought of it.
Simple, flexible and user friendly.
Can say programmer friendly as well.

Is there add-on for using PHP codes?

Google for "what you need" +eclipse plugin. Or to go to the Eclipse plugin central and take a swim in the ocean thats there.

heheh.. Google is more familiar to me than CodeGuru. I came here to get some tips from experienced persons.

The plugin central is easy to google, you find there all plugins you need, or find that there is no plugin. Either or, that is simple for you to find out, We help gladly if there is an actual issue, in this case there is none.

Hovever as you may have noticed, there are a number of PHP plugins, so read up on them, find out the ones that seem to suit what you are aiming for, many of the plugins are really not perfect, especially when them mimic IDE on another language. Pick one, pick some, and choose the one you prefer.

That's what Londbrok gave you - he told you how to find the plug-in you wanted.

They know enough who know how to learn...
