NaviCoder Pro (Java IDE editor for Windows) - Freeware also available 2.0

NaviCoder Pro (Java IDE editor for Windows) 2.0 is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) software written entirely in a native Windows language, which allows programmers to design and debug code faster.

NaviCoder can be used in conjuction with different Java Developer Kits by configurating JDK profiles. NaviCoder features an intutive interface and provides a wide range of features: fast opening, rapid response times, customizable user interface, project management, wizards, class viewer, package viewer, tabbed documents and remote debugging.

Major Features:

1. Ease of Use with simple project management
   • NaviCoder provides serveral project management tasks that speed up the development of your applications on Windows platforms, i.e. New project Wizard, New Class Wizard, New Interface Wizard, New Package Wizard, Generate Ant Script and more.
2. Intuitive User Interface.
   
   • Support of multi-document editing. Easily work on multiple documents simultaneously using multiple tab groups, split view, and cross-document search.
   • Navigation through projects, classes, packages, ant and files. Smart project tree view allows for file manipulation and automatically updates as new files are added.
3. Intelligent and comprehensive Source Code Editor
   • Support of standard editing features. Incremental search, auto-indent and outdent, block selection, display tabs and spaces, show line numbers and breaks, hightlight current line, unlimated undo/redo capavility, navigate backward and forward and more.
     
   • Smart Code Completion. It's time to learn how to let NaviCoder help you code faster: Code Completion suggests methods, properties and events to insert in your code depending on what you are doing. Experience a quick way in writing code, all it takes is a pick from the list box.
     
   • Code Folding. With the GUI tool - Code Folding lets you collapse (hide) and expand (show) sections of your code to make it easier to navigate and read. What you need to do is just to click the plus (+) and minus (-) signs next to the code.
     
   • Bookmarking. It allows you to navigate long files by marking a location in your code with a bookmark and jumping to that location from anywhere in the file. When you set a bookmark, a green flag icon is displayed in left hand side of the Code Editor.
     
   • Syntax checking and highlighting. Assist you to catch errors immediately and improve readability and context. You can change the default highlight colors in Option.
   • Support of matched brace/bracket highlighting. When you place the cursor just after a closing (or just before an opening) brace, bracket, or parenthesis. NaviCoder will try to locate its matching brace, bracket, or parenthesis and highlight their companion with yellow colour. If the current character has no match, NaviCoder will not highlight it.
   • Support of Occurrence Marking. With this feature, every occurrence of a class, function, variable etc that matches the one your cursor is currently on will be highlighted. In other words, once you select a term, all instances of that term will be shown highlighted.
     
   • Overview Ruler. You can easily locate the errors by using the Overview Ruler which is to the right of the Editor. It allows quick navigation to errors that might not be showing on the screen.
4. Integrated Interactive Debugger
   • Setting breakpoints. The first step in debugging is to find out where your coding went wrong. Setting breakpoints helps you accomplish this. NaviCoder allows you to view where all of your breakpoints are and give you the option of deleting them all in one single step.
     
   • Stepping through a program. You can easily step over individual expressions within a statement to solve those tricky debugging problems. The debugger will display the return value from each expression.
     
   • Inspecting variables and stack traces. Monitor the values of local and global variables and expressions in the Locals panels. In addition, Call Stack panel tells you the exact path the program took to get to the point where the problem occurred. Enjoy the easiest way to find out the precise cause of the problem by inspecting the values where the error occurs.
   • Remote Debugging. Debug your programs running on remote machines, the client user interface is running on one system while the debug engine is running on another system. This facility is used exactly as if you are debugging code running locally.
5. More great features
   • Written entirely in C++. NaviCoder is written entirely in C++ and professionally designed for the best look and feel, making it a really fast and powerful tool. You are allowed to build applications on both Win32 and Win64 platform.
   • Support of JDK profiles. You can use JDK tools to compile, debug, and run the project. JDK profiles allows you to work with customized Java Development Kits.
     
   • Support of Server profiles. Define different server profiles for running your web projects. Here comes with you Apache Tomcat as the pre-installed JSP container.
     
   • Support of Ant. NaviCoder features a Java-based build tool - Apache Ant. It allows you to standardize and automate build and run environments for development.
     
   • Support of JSP. Work out your dynamic web applications of JavaServer Pages in NaviCoder and run them by setting self-defined server profiles.
   • Activate Full Screen Mode during your source code editing. With this feature is activated, the only window displayed will be the active document, so that you can have more space to edit sources. To escape from full screen, just click the "Maximized Edit" under Window menu.
