I started with JBuilder 8 Enterprise and Oracle 9i JDeveloper. Then I moved
to Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, SunONE Studio. Now I settled with Eclipse. I
like Eclipse for the following reasons:
1. open-source
2. supported by a big consortium
3. has a large user base
4. less overhead (compare to JBuilder, JDeveloper, and SunONE Studio)
5. pure Java
6. has plugin for everything under the sun
Right now, I have a setup of Eclipse with Lomboz plugin, and another setup
of Eclipse with MyEclipse plugin. Both are excellent J2EE plugins. I am
using both because I can't decide which one is better. They are about the
same. The only differences are:
1. the current version of Lomboz may not support Eclipse 2.1.1, which is the
version I am using.
2. MyEclipse has far more superior technical support than Lomboz.
3. MyEclipse costs $30/year and Lomboz is free.
I heard a lot of good thing about NetBeans, but I never have the chance to
use it. So I cannot speak about it. Maybe someone in this newsgroup can
shed some light on it. I sure like to hear the "head-to-head" comparison
between Eclipse and NetBeans.
Hope this helps.
simon.
