What do you prefer Eclipse or Netbeans?????

I will prefer eclipse. Simply because of its huge plugins, support compared to netbeans. But my favourite is Intellij IDEA. If u have not tried it yet, chaeck it out.

Both are very useful java editors. Eclipse has plugin features. Through which we can easily plugin the external source into eclipse and can use it straight forward as such it is embedded within eclipse. For J2EE development, NetBeans Editor is best. It has lot of features within it. The deployment and execution part of an J2EE Project is very easy when using NetBeans.

It is a good question, I prefer Netbeans espacially because it easier to create Graphic User Interfaces (GUI). However, Eclipse is a very good product because has very many plugins and it is developed very quickly.

I think I used a very early version of Eclipse once and didn't much like it. I should try a newer version though!I actually like NetBeans - this is surprising because I'm not a huge fan of IDE's (unless you count vim as an IDE). I also like using vi, make, and javac (even on windows where I use UWIN)

eclipse of course.so many useful plugins, and so active communities.

I use both. I love using netbeans in developing Swing application and mobile application. But for developing business process, I choose Eclipse, it have much faster response than netbeans. In Eclipse, you can also built SWT-based application. And now, there's bundled package of Eclipse like easyeclipse (www.easyeclipse.org) and myeclipse (www.myeclipseide.com). I want to try IDEA, still downloading, most people said it's good.

Hiiiiiiiiii... tines, i have never used Eclipse but only used netbeans. Even netbeans is a good ide for java n will lik to prefer it for java coding..
