Wtf is a IDE?

Eclipse, Netbeans, etc.
"An integrated development environment (IDE) is a programming environment that has been packaged as an application program, typically consisting of a code editor, a compiler, a debugger, and a graphical user interface (GUI) builder. The IDE may be a standalone application or may be included as part of one or more existing and compatible applications. The BASIC programming language, for example, can be used within Microsoft Office applications, which makes it possible to write a WordBasic program within the Microsoft Word application. IDEs provide a user-friendly framework for many modern programming languages, such as Visual Basic, Java, and PowerBuilder. "

Basically they help you code. They also try to help you with errors. ;D
Some people don't like them due to packaging and other things.

It's very helpful.
It auto-compiles, tells you best ways to fix errors, occasionally adds a bracket for me.

Downside is; It uses a lot of CPU.

And don't ever open a 9MB itemDefinitions XML file.

This is kinda borderline for breaking rules, so if a mod sees this as breaking the rules, lock please.
