That's a lie. You say the major problem with Eclipse is that they ship
their own JVM. They don't. They require you to supply your own, and
recommend that you use 1.5. So, now what is Eclipse's major problem?
As far as Java, I generally dislike Java and don't use it much, so I
don't feel I can comment on Eclipse for Java work, but I use it daily
for web development, PHP, and Python, and semi-daily for C/C++, and I
love it. On SUSE 10.2 and 10.3. I love how I can go from work computer
to laptop to my home (SUSE) box and work on the same (or different)
projects with the same tool, and different underlying build environments.
