  • I entered the world of Java a few years ago, there were already memes about eclipse back then, so I was prepared to prefer Intellij.

    I tried both. Intellij is much more polished, it had some annoying bugs too, but the selling point for me was that eclipse was (is) really good at syncing every change directly to wildfly. This is a huge timesaver. The maven to eclipse plugin I think?

    I’ve tried with jrebel but it’s not as quick and reliable as with eclipse.

    I am fully prepared for a solution where Intellij is better so please let me know, but no one in our organisation (which has about 50 devs) has found it.

















  • Incoming mail is very doable.

    Outgoing mail is hard because no one will your trust your server, the easy way is let someone else send your mail.

    People get stressed about your receiving server being down sometimes, but this actually not a big deal. Mail senders typically will try for 48 hours or so to deliver mail, and if it doesn’t get delivered it will be sent back to the sender with a “could not be delivered” message. Very little gets actually lost.
