I am going to start making plugins by practising, but I just don't know the right software to do so, could someone tell what the best one is to use? Right now I use eclipse.
BashyDaBest Best one is a preference thing. I prefer Eclipse while other developers prefer intellij. Check both, see which one you like more.
Eclipse has got a very nice user interface. Net beans Is used for multiple programs as well used too.
@BashyDaBest I used Eclipse at first. I use IntelliJ now because it feels better structured and the integrated version control is a bonus among countless other things. Like timtower says, it's all down to personal preference. Use each one, and decide for yourself which you feel is the best suited for your needs.
