IntelliJ users may gain Rexx syntax highlighting and syntax checking if installing the ooRexxPlugin
for IntelliJ which a former student created and has been maintaining since. It covers Rexx, ooRexx
5.0 and Executor. He was kind enough to add support for the mainframe Rexx programs characters that
got removed for TRL2.
Here a presentation from this year's International Rexx symposium about IntelliJ with the ooRexx
plugin and its included Rexx documentation support that can be exploited for any Rexx program:
<https://www.rexxla.org/presentations/2023/04_ooRexx_Plugin_2_2.pdf>. It also demonstrates its
auot-completion feature which can be supplemented with one own's names.
Here the plugin location with the readme for installation:
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/files/Sandbox/aseik/ooRexxIDEA/GA/2.2.0/>.

100% agree with Kirk. IntelliJ IDEA is head and shoulders the best Java IDE.
I’ve mostly been coding in Java for the last few years and use the Ultimate
edition which is quite expensive but worth every penny. We also use the
Jetbrains CLion IDE for C/C++ and Python. I’ve recently been playing with VS
Code for doing some Python presentations and it’s an excellent editor.

To answer you question, for a real Java IDE, Java programmers generally believe
that IntelliJ is the best and that's hard to argue with. I've used Eclipse
for a really long time. If you are doing z/OS Java development, it's
generally best to develop on your workstation and just deploy compiled jars to
z/OS. We use some enhanced Ant SSH/SFTP tasks that we developed to target
z/OS from the IDE (for C/C++, assembler, and Java).
