IDE: Integrated Development Environment Integrated development environment, in short IDE is a convenient environment to write, execute and  debug the code or programs on a single platform.

In short IDEs are development environments to execute complete development activities using one application. IDEs and Editors IDEs and Editors fulfills the same purpose. That is writing code. But IDEs are glued or closely works with respective programming language's compilers, runtime environments, profilers and other language specific tools to put developer in a comfortable zone.  Some of the features of IDE: Auto completion Syntax Highlighting Code debugger Profilers Multipage editors Auto completion: Auto completion feature suggests APIs [methods, classes and interfaces] and keywords etc as we start typing in the e...

Software development activities can be managed and taken care with different life cycle models. These life cycle models has became legacy since few years. Few of the available Software Development Life Cycle Models in short SDLC are Win-Win Model and Waterfall Model etc. These traditional models has different phases of development.           1. Requirements            2. Analysis            3. Design            4. Implementation            5. Test           6. Documentation  and 7. Maintenance  In SDLC, the above stages are freezed one after the other. If developer is in Design phase and realized that there could be a possibility of change in requirements, then it is not possible to go back one phase and fix in Requirement phase.  These scenarios and use cases has brough...

First of all, please read below blog post to understand basics of Exception Handling in java. Exception handling and java keywords To continue from there, Basically Java default API has hierarchy of  java classes to support different uses cases of exceptions.  The parent class of all Exceptions and Errors is Throwable .
