The most frequent hit, by far, is Eclipse.

Great. Thanks for the data.

I called my friend and asked what he is using. H he is using Eclipse at
his regular job and will be using it for this project too - he used to
use Netbeans at his previous job. I am glad to know that this group iis
fond of Eclipse.

Well, that data came from *all* the Java groups,
rather than just comp.lang.java.help (other ones
are .gui, .programmer, .advocacy,..).

I would actually expect that use of IDE's (in general)
was lower on c.l.j.help (this group) than, for example,
c.l.j.programmer.
