Re: A constructive debate: Eclipse or NetBeans?



. sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk eclipse
. Run Eclipse and wait *30* seconds for it to start.
. Eclipse runs extremely unreliably and keeps crashing with null pointer
exceptions.
. Discover that Eclipse is using the GNU Java implementation rather than
Sun's Java implementation.

I downloaded eclipse directly from eclipse.org, and regularly update
the installation using their update module. The distribution with
Ubuntu is delayed...

. Learn how to alter the chosen Java implementation used by Eclipse by
running:

$ sudo update-alternatives --config java


So my impressions so far are that command-line tools are much easier to use
and obviously far more powerful than these "industrial-strength" IDEs. I
believe people only use them because they feel more comfortable with a GUI
but, when the GUI is this complicated and unintuitive, I think you have to
question whether or not a command line is better.

Perhaps you should consider ditching IDEs altogether?

Also,
No offense, but Please understand the difference between and editor
and an IDE.
