Question

Best IDEs for JLink and WebLink

  • December 3, 2008

My question is for JLink and WebLink programmers: Which IDE do you use to
write your Java or JavaScript code, and why?

By IDE, I of course mean "Integrated Development Environment" - the
software
tool you use to write your code, compile it and debug it. For Pro/Toolkit
users on Windows, the choice is obvious - Microsoft Visual Studio.
However,
there's a huge list of choices for Java, and I'm sure some for JavaScript.

Is there an overwhelming preference for JLink and WebLink users? If
you're
one of those "à la carte" programmers who prefers command-line tools to
IDEs,
I'm interested in hearing your opinions, too.

Dear Mark,

I think the good choice for JLink is NetBeans IDE. It is free and It has all what you want, I hope so.

Mark,

Damir is right, NetBeans is very good. I've been using Eclipse for years and it's excellent also. I've been able to do basic JLink applications as well as full blown client/server CADWorker type projects. There is one thing that NetBeans has on Eclipse- the Swing based GUI editor. Eclipse has a version that is barely usable.So depending on whether you'll be doing Swing GUI's or not those are two very good and fairly comparable IDE's. And they're free !! It's a wonderful life.

I've tried developing JLink apps with Netbeans but Pro/E doesn't seem to find the application when starting up. I put the full path in the protk.dat file with no joy.

Had anybody used Netbeans to develop JLink apps? If so, do you have any tips or tricks? Thanks.

I did use NetBeans 4.0 to develop a JLink application - you're probably
on a much later version now.

Pro/E typically uses an older version of the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) than what NetBeans supports. Make sure you're compiling for the
correct JRE version.

J.D. Felkins is probably you're best source for advice on JLink, though
I know he prefers Eclipse to NetBeans.

I'm sure, that J-Link is not tied to any specific IDE like Pro/TOOLKIT, so
you can use the one you are familiar with. I have used JBuilder in the
past and Eclipse now. I will use NetBean if I need to design a GUI as it
is not well supported in Eclipse.
Do you get any error messages as I think it is you setup of the
application in ProE that is the problem?

Regards,
Bjarne

Dear Friends,

I am using Netbeans to develop J-Link Application from last 2 years.

I using netbeans 6.0 with Java 1.6 & my all applications works perfactly. although J-Link Documentation is still stickedwith Java 1.4 along with PTC support team.

I developed the J-Link Application & copy the the jar file to a different folder which having protk.dat & text folder etc.

I understand it is a cumbersome method as you need to do this thing manually & restart Pro/E after every replacement of jar file.

Thanks & Regards

Nikhil Gothankar
