TJI Java IDE 9

TJI Java IDE 9 is considered as a useful and easy to use tool that features color syntax, code folding, and syntax checking. Plus 'Round-Trip' UML-Java functionality with automatic synchronization, and multi-user functionality. The IDE includes an integrated Web server and a Web browser for easy servlet and JSP development, and an integrated database for straightforward JDBC-SQL application development.

Other highlights are code completion, quick insert of common expressions, integrated JavaDoc and API Guru; framework code generators; drag and drop swing GUI builders, debugging, profiling and tracing. A set of Java tutorials with accompanying source code in ready-to-run projects is also included. There is also a visual debugger with breakpoints set in your source code. Also new is a visual reminder of which lines of source code you have modified during the current session.

Major Features:

1. Tiny footprint - just one jar file of around 2 MBytes
2. Open multiple projects
3. Create framework skeleton class sets for applets, GUI and console applications, and servlet projects

5. Automatic project backup of all changed source files (10 sets per source file, timed and dated)
6. Easy navigation
   • Save, compile & run with a single button click
   • Compile-time error locations are shown in your source code editors (automatically opened if not already open)
   • Run-time exceptions are shown in your source code editors (automatically opened if not already open)
   • Jump straight to any project class, method or field
   • Jump straight to the API of any Java class or method
   • Context menus throughout

   • Select font, font size and tab size
   • 'Easy Tab' space to tab conversion as type
   • Color Syntax editing and bracket pairing
   • Automatic { } balance checking and closing brace insertion
   • Unique color for Project's class names
   • Bookmarks
   • 'Split View' editing
   • Automatic formatting (indenting) (Java, XML, HTML, JSP)
   • Automatic formatting on paste
   • Code Completion - updates as you type
   • Word Completion
   • Custom substitutions (shorthand shortcuts)
   • One click to enter block skeletons - e.g. 'if () {} else {}' and 'try {} catch () {}'
   • Multiple entry clipboard
   • Search and Replace throughout file or project
   • Editor & Project search : select from previous searches (with 'case' and 'whole word' options)
   • Unlimited Undo and Redo + Undo All

   • Code Folding - any { } block and /* comment */
   • Drag & Drop editing (copy or move)
   • Comment / Uncomment selected text
   • Remove 'commented out' code
   • End-block comments (e.g. //end: if x>0)
   • Enclose selected text in a block structure (e.g. try {...} catch {}, for (~) {...}, if (~) {...}, etc.)
   • Automatic accessor methods creation (optional)
   • Indication of lines edited in current session (even when lines are folded)
   • Overview Bar - for search in editor and compile-time errors (see off-screen locations) with 'jump to'
8. 1Refactoring
   • Refactor package
   • (updates all project source files and directories)
   • Refactor class
   • Refactor base directory
   • Refactor method name
9. GUI Designers
   • Swing GUI Designer - using layout managers and allowing panels within panels (plus JTabbedPane and JSplitPane)
   • Drag and Drop Swing Panel Builder using absolute positioning (with optional, variable size grid locking) - ideal for dialogs

    • Multi-User functionality (ideal for universities and colleges)
    • Fast and automatic project documentation
    • Easy to use (and easy to develop) Plug-In Modules
    • Automatic restoration of last open projects and files, including caret positions
