12 Tools a Java Professional Must Have
Every java professionals have a set of tools on their arsenal in
order to survive day to day office challenges. Over the years of being a
java professional, I am pretty sue you must already have a list of
software that you are comfortable to work with and can easily accomplish
a given task. The tools I am presenting on this article are the one
proven to get the job done efficiently.
Let’s take a look one real life scenario, you are required to edit an
xml because of some ParseException problem, you might use xmlparser or
notepad++ to accomplish this. Well some die hard programmer might
argue, I don’t need additional software to do that, all I need is a
notepad and that’s it I can easily debug that. All I could say is,
“Yeah!
maybe you are efficient in using that notepad, but for me I better use
xmlparse or I will die trying to figure out where is the missing closing
tag”. The truth, is we might be having a different ways in
accomplishing things but the most important thing to consider is how
fast and how efficient you are in accomplishing your task. The more
efficient and effective we are, the more we got recognized by our boss.
Ideally, the more we got recognized the faster we will be promote. Some
might argue, that would not always be the case but
<insert some bad office politics here>. Lets leave office politics on this discussion because I might end up writing a book here.
Moving on, the following is the list of software that I have on my
arsenal and proven to be useful and I want to share it to you and
compare it to your list if you are already have one. For those guys who
are new in development, this document is will serve as a guide on
selecting the software that you will be needing. Better take a look on
these list and familiarize with it. I would like to emphasize that these
are not tools only for java development nor its built in java but
rather the following are the list of tools to become an effective java
professional.
