Anyone ever get theirs?

Ive been using netbeans for awhile now, just thought a cd would be nice for future rebuilds etc... but it never came for me

good thing i didnt wait for this to arrive and just downloaded it.. haha

Thats nice, personally I prefer Eclipse, but Netbeans is supposed to be good as well.

www.eclipse.org

I'm a software developer and its our teams IDE of choice. It's not too bad on RAM usage. NetBeans is better if you're going to be doing GUI apps, but if you're doing J2EE web apps, Eclipse is the way to go hands down.

I'd actually disagree... after using both, eclipse is way more of a resource hog.

I use eclipse for non java development, but netbeans is the way to go with java. their gui editor is much nicer than some of the others ive seen.

Yeah, NetBeans is the way to go for GUI development. It does take up lot of RAM but then I don't watch movies and program at the same time on the same machine at work!

 

[MOCKBA1]

eclipse actually is heavy too. I could ask my kids, school recommended some good free Java IDE

 

[LOUISSSSS]

is there an advantage to ordering this netbeans 5.0 cd? isn't the same thing free to download off the java website? if not, what are the differences?

 

[NSA Lummox]

Well, maybe it's not bad on ram usage to me because I have 4gb of ram

It usually uses 150MB, but our app is also considerably large.

I've used Netbeans but it was a while ago. I still say that Eclipse is hands down the best one I've used. It takes a little while to get used to the smaller features, but I personally think that it's built in functionality along with the wide array of plugins (Subclipse, XML Buddy, Tomcat) as well as its very power refactoring and automation power (comments, auto-generation) is top notch.

It's no different than the one you can download on netbeans.org.

It's just that you can get a copy of it on the CD.
