Which IDE to choose for Java web development?

Question

Java

I want to start learning web development in Java, i.e. the most basic functions are required (servlets, EJB, JSP, Spring MVC etc.)
IDEA disappears immediately, because support for all Springs and ITS is only in the paid version.
What do you recommend Eclipse or Netbeans? I tried both a little, they are basically the same, compared with IDEA, which seemed more convenient.

Answer 1

I saw on the jetbrains blog that using a trial version, after the end of the trial period, demolish and reinstall, does not contradict the license)
If you are a student, it is even easier, they have programs for universities

Answer 2

compared to IDEA, which seemed more convenient.

Well, that's why it's paid. And not to say that it is expensive - 15 bucks a month.

Answer 3

I am using STS on Eclipse. Yes, and Eclipse itself downloaded from the Spring site here or here . (maybe this is from the category of superstitions, but in their assembly, Eclipse crashes less often).
Also used IDEA. But I liked the way the work with various xml (pom.xml, context.xml, etc.) was done in Eclipse. Although IDEA is more magical in terms of coding, it eats up RAM - "mom don't cry."
PS: I heard from one Java EE trainer that if you want to learn how to write code, then use Eclipse.
ZYY: I may be wrong, but Eclipse has a lot of different plug-ins compared to IDEA, due to its openness and age.
