Abstract

Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) have become essential in modern software development, offering a centralized platform that brings together source code management, debugging tools, version control, and compilation features. This study offers an in-depth analysis of various IDE platforms, with a particular focus on Eclipse as a widely used open-source integration environment. It also explores specialized IDEs tailored for embedded systems and enterprise-level Java (J2EE) application development. Additionally, the study examines how web-based IDEs supported remote learning and coding practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. By reviewing five key research studies, we highlight the evolution of IDEs, current challenges, and emerging opportunities for both industry professionals and students. As software development continues to evolve, IDEs have kept pace by incorporating advanced tools, automation capabilities, and cross-platform support. These enhancements have made development environments more efficient, adaptable, and accessible across different user groups. Not only have these improvements benefited large-scale enterprise projects, but they have also played a vital role in computer science education, helping students learn and collaborate effectively. This review specifically considers how IDEs enable team-based development, assist in early error detection, and support cloud deployment workflows. The growth of online IDEs, particularly during the shift to remote education caused by the pandemic, has broken down location-based barriers. These platforms have made it easier for learners and developers to write, test, and share code in real-time, using shared environments and cloud resources. Features like live collaboration, classroom integration, and resource scalability have transformed how coding is taught and practiced in virtual settings.
