Java developers in Nets today are using Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tools. The main two tools in use are Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA. Eclipse is a free open-source tool and IDEA is not. Since we use Maven as the build tool, every developer is free to choose which IDE he uses, since Maven will ensure that we have no dependencies on proprietary to build, package or deploy our software. Eclipse is the most used IDE, but IDEA is popular in some departments. We estimate that 80% of the developers use Eclipse, and the rest is mostly using IDEA.
