simple and easy to write code. Easy way of learning java Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

could have improved by adding more features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good Tool for Java Development, File hierarchy looks good. It was working correctly for Java Projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compile project takes longer than usual. They should add some effort to compiling the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The visual representations of the objects, classes and the relation between those.

For beginners and those learning object oriented paradigm languages like Java this is very good and very important.

It auto generates the code with correponding colors of the UI elements.

It is free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It looks like the UI will remain the same across the years. I've used it about 10 years ago and it looks basically the same. But not a big deal because it gets the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's functional, but far worse than any other competition on the market such as Eclipse or Intellij which are both available as free options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features don't live up to the rest of the other IDE on the market, including the other FOSS options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customized for teaching. It does not tend to overwhelm beginners Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike about BlueJ is the termination of a program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about BlueJ is the interface. It provides a good looking and minimalistic experience of an IDE in Java Language. No problems in configuring the compiler too and JVM. Other IDE's require you to download the compiler separately and configure it. But BlueJ has it set up and enabled by default. The code and syntax highlighting is best and is enabled by default. We can change the theming and font size, style, color according to our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike about BlueJ is the termination of a program. If a program is terminated automatically due to some error/memory error the JVM keeps running. You have to manually switch it off/stop it to execute a program again. And that it does not have a proper dedicated page for a guide/user manual present on its website.

It is the most helpful IDE for beginners of Java Development. It is suitable for small-scale businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not support most of the plug-ins that IntelliJ of eclipse supports. It not suitable for a large and complex application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has an inbuilt debugger.

Open source.

Easy installation.

Easy to get help from forums as it has many users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it comes to huge programs, the same debugger is not practical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is extremely easy to use. With a very focused approach it is pretty neat to code programs for testing and proof of concept or try out stuff. It is also pretty fast and have just the right amount to functionalities to make it awesome to use. It has a lot of white space in user interface which also gives it the light look.

It has limited functionalities. It is good to understand the concepts of object oriented and developing proofs and simple programs from scratch but don't expect a great deal. It is quite simple program which does what is it made for. Don't use it for high end functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
