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.

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...
