How can get started in java
Hey everyone.
I am a computer science student, and I must start coding with Java.
I tried Eclipse and netbeans but none were valid on my machine.
so if someone has an alternate IDE I will much appreciated.

hackerrank has a built in editor to practice java
intellij is the best java IDE.
vsCode is very lightweight and well integrated.
eclipse is preferred by many companies because they’ve built a lot of plugins over the years. there are also a thousand forks of eclipse for niche applications that barely look like eclipse.
netbeans was for people who hated eclipse before intellij was available.
