"Must Have for Beginners"
What do you like best about BlueJ?

Wowwww!

I have been in the industry for almost 3 years and have worked on dozens of polished code editors but this masterpiece is the champion of them all. This is not just a code editor, this can be a very very efficient tool in your understanding of Java Language. It graphically shows you what is there in your project using different graphical terminologies. You can see the inherited classes, the interfaces, enums and the connection between various classes. BlueJ is designed to put the imaginary things on the IDE Dashboard. BlueJ is simply awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlueJ?

I haven't find any significant problems with this IDE. But if I consider its use in production environment, it is not feasible. It is developed for learning and understanding purpose and cannot be used in any production ready environment. But, there are many scopes of improvements in this product. As it is developed under a project of some University, I wish that they will provide future upgrades to this IDE so that people will enjoy learning Java Programming Language.

"BlueJ: develop Java programs quickly and easily"
What do you like best about BlueJ?

BlueJ's editor features unique scope highlighting, where the background of each code block is coloured to allow you to visually scan the code much faster. It also helps in spotting misplaced curly brackets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlueJ?

BlueJ has a deliberately smaller and simpler interface than professional environments like NetBeans or Eclipse. This allows beginners to get started more quickly, and without being overwhelmed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good program"
What do you like best about BlueJ?

I truly like having a content manager with a linguistic structure marker and that gathering is progressively. Do numerous exercises in a solitary application, for example, unit tests with JUnit variant control with CVS

I discovered it extremely valuable when I figured out how to program. It isn't generally an IDE. It is a learning stage. Enables you to view questions as you do them, physically investigate and call techniques on items,

BlueJ is simply a learning stage, and it needs numerous instruments you have to truly build up the product. I utilized it a great deal when I began figuring out how to program, however once I truly needed to do my product, I changed to Eclipse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlueJ?

Many individuals will simply say you should simply utilize Eclipse, or IntelliJ, or Netbeans off the bat, however truly, those projects are so brimming with highlights, it very well may be truly scary to another programmer.BlueJ to be an extraordinary device for the learning the ideas of OOP, yet it's a horrendous apparatus for really creating programming.

Helps beginners get familiar with the structure of Java programs.BlueJ was created for educational purposes and is designed to be simple for those who are just learning.BlueJ was created for teaching purposes, it is designed to be easy to use. It has a user-friendly and intuitive interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlueJ?

There are very few features available in BlueJ that would would expect from an IDE. For example, syntax highlighting is minimal and there is no code completion.BlueJ is much better suited for small projects. It is designed to be simple and quite basic, rather than to handle large applications.Not comfortable for expert programmers.

"BlueJ what is that?"
What do you like best about BlueJ?

Blue j is totally committed for those who seek to know about java and it's complications. Anyone can get used to it quickly. Best for developing small projects . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlueJ?

BlueJ does not supports any other language than Java. The unavailability of plugins like in Eclipse or Netbeans limits its usability very much. Support for other languages is a required feature that is missing. It's simple but it's too simple for any large development. Features could be lacking for any complex programs that may require a more complex IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"What is BlueJ. And why do we need him?"
What do you like best about BlueJ?

1) BlueJ is a open resource.

2) Personally, it is only really good for the classroom environment, to teach student how to code in java, at a high school level.

3 )Sidebar for overall code overview is also awesome for beginners like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlueJ?

1) Support for other languages is a required feature that is missing.

2) It's simple but it's too simple for any large development.

3) Definitely useful for any future small developments but I think it might be limited to just that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BlueJ"
What do you like best about BlueJ?

BlueJ has a simple interface with everything you need to write Java programs. It's simplistic interface is almost nihilist with no bells or whistles. That is a good thing fr someone who just wants to write simple Java code snippets without all of the baggage of any other IDE. The simplicity really contributes to the overall launch speed of this product. Very nice start speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlueJ?

It's simple but it's too simple for any large development. Features could be lacking for any complex programs that may require a more complex IDE. Other than that, the interface could look nicer and more slick with ideally more rounded features. Could definitely add in a in-program editor without having a new pop-up window for each class that's opened. Tabs would really improve this product. Compilation speed could also be improved I think. Definitely useful for any future small developments but I think it might be limited to just that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
