@skanman What does your company use? Git commandline and tears?
@admitsWrongIfProven We have to have total control over the development environment for security/legal reasons so everything we use is self hosted. So we've been using Eclipse Ché
Well I've got it on a dedicated server, so it runs much faster because it's on a beast of a server, especially for compile times. It can track developer edits, and the need of merging is mitigated by real time collaborative editing, so if I wanted to, I can watch my programmers coding in real time and jump in if I want. Handling support requests and issues, I just built a tool for that and because Ché is web based, it's easy enough just to add links to files that are being tracked. The other magic trick it can do is spool up testing environments / containers / vm on the fly. That's more useful in practice than I thought it would be. It's super flexible, it's community strength is low/medium. If you're dumb like me, you can use it to edit itself in a separate container, and if you're modifications are good, migrate the modified source and it's live.
For the bad:
It's very resource intensive.
Installation/configuration nightmare.
Modifications are difficult.
It's one of those things I poked with a stick for a year before using it.
For my purposes though, we mostly build algorithms and backends, for that it's great.
IntelliJ.. wow haven't heard that name in a while.
@admitsWrongIfProven oh eclipse is garbage, and also understand the backend of che is the same as eclipse. But I don't download updates, so I'm able to strip the bloat out of it, and we do our own updates to it internally. That's another reason I poked it with a stick for a year 😂, eclipse was garbage, is garbage, and will be garbage for the foreseeable future. And to think that Android Studio was built on top of that nightmare. What was Google thinking?
@skanman Well, che sounds like it could be useful (if someone is willing to do that part with the stick you mentioned), but eclipse itself... oh nightmare, a search that takes ages and is not very good, everything hangs a little, no matter how fast your machine... it was good like 10 years ago, not any more.
