5. 10 BEST JAVA IDE’S IN 2023

6. • What are Java IDEs?
A Java integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that
provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development in
the Java programming language. An IDE typically includes a source code editor, build
automation tools, and a debugger.
1. Code editor: These editors are not text editors. They are designed for writing and
editing source code. This feature makes it easier for developers to write and edit the
code and saves considerable time.
2. Integrated debugger: Developers can use these integrated debugging tools to test and
debug the code of their applications.
3. Compiler: The main task of the compiler is to convert the human-readable/writable
source code to a form that computers can understand and execute.
4. Build automatic tools: These tools save a lot of time for the developers as they can be
used to automate basic development tasks.
