It is about two years ago, that I compared Eclipse to NetBeans. I also have been on an API course where I could not import the SDK project somehow into NetBeans. There I again thought about maybe switching more to Eclipse and tried hard. But my conclusion was again and again: NetBeans is really better (suited for me) apart from two things: 1. There are more refactoring options in Eclipse. But I hate when developers did poor API design in the beginning and then continuously do refactoring. This is sooo annoying for third party developers using the APIs. Refactoring considers only the own stuff and not the rest out there in the world. So this is not really an issue for me personally - I try to do my API design well in the beginning. 2. Unit testing. I have to admit, that I started late with writing test classes although I now wish, I would have started earlier... What is very annoying in NetBeans is, that you can't run just a single test, the first time you test a class. The first time you must run all tests of a class and only then you can repeat a single test again and again (if it fails and you are in to fix the problem). -- Martin Wildam http://www.google.com/profiles/mwildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
