Hi everybody,

can anybody tell me why everybody is so excited about Eclipse? I'm
using NetBeans for several weeks now and after everybody's talking
about Eclipse I tried to work with it for the last days.

But I must admit that I didn't find the big advantage in this tool.
It's complicated, it's not intuitiv. The visual editor is much better
in NetBeans. You can collapse source code in NetBeans, and so on....

So please can anybody show me the highlights of Eclipse?

Thanks,
Heike
