Daniel, Eclipse is much faster than Netbeans, in my opinion, and is not as much of a memory hog as Netbeans is. If you select the right plug-ins, Eclipse is an excellent IDE for all J2EE development EXCEPT JSP pages. We use Eclipse here for everything (EJB, Java Beans, servlets) BUT JSP development, and use Macromedia Dreamweaver MX for the JSP development. Dreamweaver MX has the ability to "pull in" external tag libraries into the IDE, and will enable code completion for those tag libraries inside of it's IDE. So when I incorporated the Struts logic, HTML, and bean tag libraries into Dreamweaver, the code completion for those tags is enabled for our JSP developers. HTML layout/design is also much simpler in Dreamweaver, as long as you stay away from the wizards that are included in Dreamweaver (adds too much extraneous code into the HTML).
Hopefully, the HTML and JSP development features of Eclipse will be improved soon. Celeste -----Original Message----- From: Daniel H.

I'm beginning to design a software development process specification as a job task. It will include, for instance, a list of all tools, software, frameworks, etc, necessary to develop Web-based solutions in J2EE platform. And after doing a lot of research, i've found that open-source world has two leading IDEs: Netbeans and Eclipse. I'd like to hear about experiences with both of them. In my preliminary tests i guess it was difficult to work with Eclipse with focus on Web development. For instance, it doesn't have a cool JSP editor like Netbeans. I've tried an Eclipse plugin, but its features are inferior than Netbeans offered features. But i liked Eclipse's plugins feature. And it has a better aproach to manage code quality than Netbeans. So, opinions? Best regards, Daniel. PS: Sorry for possible language mistakes. English is not my native language. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
