Re: Java tools: Is eclipse everything what I need ?

Howdy

What about NetBeans ? It has a GUI builder, J2EE, J2SE,J2ME support and a
whole lot more bundled into two easy downloads. Plus it appears to be a bit
friendlier than Eclipse, especially if you don't like messing around with
configuration files to get a million plugins to work together. Since both
are free, why not try both out and see which one appeals to you the most?
The beauty of Java is that as long as you don't use IDE vendor-specific
libraries, you can always switch around IDE's until you find what you are
looking for.
