JCreator

JCreator is a commercial Java-based Integrated Developer Environment developed by Xinox Software. JCreator has two versions Lite Edition and ProEdition. The Lite Edition omits features such as code completion which are present in the ProEdition. Both versions are available for a free 30-day trial after which you must purchase a license. JCreator targets the Windows operating system platform. However, many users have successfully run the program on Linux using the Wine emulator.

JCreator is coded in C++, and therefore, it does not require the Java Runtime Environment to run. JCreator’s user interface is highly customizable. Users can change many parts of the interface such as icons, colors, and fonts. The user interface also provides an easy and intuitive way of managing projects. There are two viewing modes Class View and File View. File View shows the directory structure of a project while Class View shows the logical organization of all the classes in a project. Each project can use a unique JDK profile; this is useful when you have projects that target different JDK Versions.

Writing Java code on JCreator is a joy. You can open multiple files at the same time. The program’s autosave works perfectly, and it ensures that you do not lose any changes made to your source code.
