Being a long-time Eclipse power user, I'm totally addicted to the Smalltalk-style package and class browser it presents in the Java Browsing perspective. Is there anything similar for IntelliJ?
Note: I'm not looking for IntelliJ's Project window; that's more like Eclipse's Package Explorer or Project Explorer.
However, Eclipse handles the large projects faster as compared to IntelliJ Idea because it indexes the entire project on start-up. But, when you are working on an existing project, IntelliJ Idea works faster and smoother as compared to Eclipse. 7. Usability IntelliJ is much easier to use as compared to Eclipse.
You can import either an Eclipse workspace or a single Eclipse project. To do this, click Open on the Welcome Screen or select File | Open in the main menu. IntelliJ IDEA automatically detects Eclipse projects located on your computer and places them in the dedicated node right on the Welcome screen.
The section shows the browsers from the predefined list and the previously configured custom browser installations, if any. IntelliJ IDEA is shipped with a predefined list of most popular browsers that you may install and launch automatically from the IDE during running, debugging, or previewing the output of an HTML file.
While Eclipse uses its own compiler, IntelliJ IDEA uses the javac compiler bundled with the project JDK. If you must use the Eclipse compiler, navigate to Settings/Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler | Java Compiler and select it as shown below:
You can achieve something similar with opening these tool windows:
Then you can rearange the windows to match your preference - see attached screenshot.
