Welcome to Treehouse.

I would say that you could use Eclipse. The "how-to" portions in the course in terms of the IDE interface will, obviously, be different. I use WebStorm quite a bit and have not seen a way to do much with Java nearly as effectively as in IntelliJ, but since I use both pieces of software for different types of development I can't say that I have spent much, if any, time trying to get Spring running in WebStorm.

Hope it helps, but post back with further questions.

Happy coding,
Ken

or I guess we can use Netbeans, can't we?

It has been quite a while since I have used Netbeans but that should not prevent you from doing so. Just remember that, similar to my comments on the use of Eclipse, that the "follow along" portion of the course may be slightly different in how one interacts with the IDE and tools available.

Happy coding,
Ken

Thanks Ken, I will go ahead with Eclipse which I already use for Java development.

Can we use just a command line?
