"BlueJ: Simple Interface That Helps Juniors Build Solid Java Project Structure"

4/5

What do you like best about BlueJ?

Having interacted with different IDEs (both paid and free software), one that offers us considerable benefits when starting a project from scratch is the BlueJ environment, in which the developer(s) are starting with developments in the JAVA language, basically because of the simplicity of the interface and the possibility of orchestrating good practices in terms of how the overall structure of the project to be executed will be shaped.

What do you dislike about BlueJ?

For the objective we are pursuing with the use and implementation of this free development platform supported by Oracle, it definitely meets the basic requirements needed by the development TEAM when it is made up of junior professionals. It may be that the debugging capabilities are not as extensive as those of other commercial IDEs, but ultimately, for the features we require, there is nothing that we completely dislike.

What problems is BlueJ solving and how is that benefiting you?

The possibility of installing the same IDE on the main operating systems we use (iOS, Windows, and Linux) is more than just a problem that can sometimes arise with some of the other options on the market, especially when we are accustomed to having virtualized operating systems where we can install IDEs with great ease and simplicity. This ease benefits us in terms of the initial setup of a project or proof of concept. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
