IDE Question 2005-07-08 - By Jeroen Wenting
Back
Personally I'm a big JBuilder fan but sadly Borland has announced that
development will cease after the next version and everything after that will
be based on Eclipse (they'll effectively be trying to sell Eclipse, pretty
much like IBM is doing with WSAD).
Eclipse, while decent, doesn't get anywhere near JBuilder in functionality
and ease of use.
Netbeans is a step down from that, plus being terribly slow (and in my
experience unstable as well).
Then there's of course IDEA, supposed to be an excellent product.
As to price, it's all relative.
If for example your effort costs $100 an hour and using a $500 product
you're 5 hours more productive a month compared to a free product, the
investment will be earned back in just a month.
As Frans said, it's a highly personal choice that noone can make for you
(something IT departments finally seem to be figuring out as more and more
seem willing to let people choose their own tools).

Subject: Re: IDE Question
As far as I know the 2 major java IDEs at the moment are Eclipse and
Netbeans. I use netbeans myself, which has improved quite a lot over the
years. I kind of like netbeans. I tried Eclipse a few years ago, and then I
did not like it. I am not sure about now. I have also tried in the past
jdeveloper and jbuilder, which I both did not like very much.
Basically I can just advise you to download all the IDEs and see which one
fits you best.
