I've noticed in many of the tutorials Si and/or David use Eclipse instead of
Netbeans. Since we are just getting started, is there a reason to use one over the other? I only ask because I downloaded a recent j2sdk1.5 and it came with netbeans, as well as tomcat, etc... Is it a Ford vs. Chevy issue, or rather Audi vs. Yugo? Thanks -- Walter |

Walter,
IMHO rather a Ford vs. Chevy issue. Short answer : Netbeans is easier to use but has less functionnalities (plugins mainly, for FTL & BSH for example). It depends if you really need all that Eclipse has to offer...

Walter,
I think this is really down to personal preference, there are people being very productive in both IDE.

Walter,
Here are some task based comparisons: 1. Java - NB wins for better coding support 2. XML - Eclipse wins for XSD support 3. FTL - Eclipse wins for having a plugin 4. BSH - NB wins for better plugin 5. Search - Both pretty good, NB has better preview, Eclipse has better way to restrict search for faster results 6. Performance - About the same, both slower than I like 7. Code printing - Both poor, I use PSPad 8. Column select (you will know when you need it) - Neither has support, I use PSPad 9. Screen display - Eclipse wins for using native engine (on Windows), NB comes close with JDK 1.6 (Mustang) 10. Bugs - Both have plenty 11. OFBiz specific support - Neither has it You can probably tell that I use both simultaneously.

There is also a plugin for Netbeans, harder to install but not so much.

re: screen display
Eclipse on a MAC beats NetBeans on a SunRay any day...But then you probably aren't even considering a SunRay... Vinay Agarwal wrote: >Walter, > >Here are some task based comparisons: > >1.

12. We are trying to get SVN working with NetBeans 5.5 - lots of
