Hi James,

Actually, NetBeans also has a plugin structure that is very well supported (IMHO).  I have been using it at home and plan to start using it here at the college for my development. The learning curve on the IDE is not that great, at least it wasn't for me.

NetBeans vs Eclipse ?

For some cases it maybe possible/practical to pick a different IDE for
the given task at hand.  However, there is nothing like investing
sufficient time in one IDE to maximize your personal productivity.

If you take a little time to learn the tools, I'll bet is can be
customized to meet your exact needs(Emacs/Vi/... anyone).  

I choose eclipse because it contains a plugin structure that is VERY
well supported and actively developed.  This means I am offered every
language I plan to use, and the editor itself has great keyboard and GUI
features.  Yes, its and effort to learn; but it is very useful out of
the box for a newbie.

Consider non-obvious options, like DUAL 20inch WIDE SCREENS, to maximize
the tools screen space and effect.  Sometimes a real good desk chair
also helps.

Anyway, I think eclipse is worth the effort.  To use it as a part of
class on programming requires the same amount of effort and any other
modern IDE; use what you know.

Ok, so it looks like I'm the sole RED HAT Fedora user, and maybe the
eclipse lone ranger...

James,

Hi Bud,

Yeah, I've been looking at using the NetBeans IDE for my Java 
programming classes rather than Eclipse, since it's a bit less cluttered.

So far, I like what I see.

Now, if it only did Python/Jython as well...

Cheers,
Vern

Hi all,

Has anyone tried out the NetBeans IDE (www.netbeans.org)?  I downloaded 
it the other day and have been playing with their 6.5 Beta; it features 
an awesome PHP editor!  There are other languages that are supported 
such as, C/C++, Swing, Ruby, and Java.  And, best of all, it is free! ;-)

I just wanted to make you guys aware of it.

Have a great weekend!
Bud
