I think Eclipse now has a GUI editor too (which it was missing)...

I may be wrong though..

As I said... it's a case of picking the one you like the feel of...

They are all pretty much the same...

I would say to define what you are looking for. Make your own list of basic requirements (most of them will meet the standard requirements.) CVS, Debugger, logs, ect.

It's actually true ! , for me as a programmer it is better to use an open source and competitive IDE like " Eclipse ".

Okey;

It really comes up into conclusion that it depends on the person itself on whatever IDE he or she wants to use.
Anyways we already come up with different conclusions and recommendations on whatever set of IDE's there is for JAVA.

Its a matter of choice !, hope we gave you "GivenRandy" a good view on what it is for your question . :)

Eclipse + JBuilder + JCreator + So-on = The User's Choice :)

Hope " we " helped you !

Doing a more in-depth analysis based on our needs, using 25% of time. About 70% JBuilder, 30% Eclipse, the remainder spread amongst the other contenders. But, things may change with further analysis.

We chose JBuilder. Its weighted score was 50% higher than the next two contenders, Eclipse and NetBeans, with IntelliJ close behind those. Thanks!
