Java.sun.com, Sun's main Java site, has a new article
up(http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Interviews/ditzel_qa.html)
that compares NetBeans with Eclipse. In it, Sun's Charles Ditzel
claims:
-- NetBeans is a far simpler download with far greater functionality.
For instance, he says, "to build a graphical user interface (GUI),
NetBeans provides the NetBeans IDE GUI Builder, the best free Java
technology-based GUI builder. Eclipse 3.1 requires you to download
Visual Editor Project, which is another 7 or 8 megabytes, and has
nowhere near the features of the NetBeans IDE GUI Builder.
If you want to build a Struts, JavaServer Pages (JSP), or JavaServer
Faces technology-based web application with the NetBeans IDE, it's
already included, whereas with Eclipse, you have to download a 180+
megabyte Web Tools Platform (WTP) project that lacks Struts support and
requires yet another module for JavaServer Faces technology support."
-- He admits that Eclipse is addressing compatibility issues with
Callisto, but says the "jury is still out".
My experience is mostly with NetBeans. Question: Is Ditzel giving a
straight story or just being a shill for Sun, where he works? Would
anyone who has knowledge of both Eclipse and NetBeans care to take what
he says on? Or, for that matter, confirm it?
There are Eclipse plugins for Maven and Tapestry. Do those plugins exist for NetBeans? Where can I get them?
