I'm with you, Glen. Eclipse 3.3 on openSuse 10.2 just sucks. I presume it would be the same on 10.3. I find nothing wrong with Java 1.6. I've been using 1.6 features for many months without ANY problems. The major problem with Eclipse is they ship their own jvm if I recall correctly. And stuff written to their jvm may not work on real Java. Secondly, if you want to create Swing components it starts an instance of the jvm for each JFrame -- which means your memory is gone in a big hurry. Swing development is really painfully S-L-O-W. I won't go into the issues with SWT which are fairly well documented elsewhere.
NB6, however, the daily builds of which I am sure both of us have been using extensively is a work of art. Consists of 100% Java. Makes Swing development a breeze. Runs on real Java and always the latest version. It doesn't get any better than that.
