What Java IDE Do You Use?

[clamum]

I was wondering what those who write Java code use for a programming environment. Eclipse? NetBeans? gEdit? Somethin else? I'm mainly wondering what those who write code for a job use.

So far I've just used gVim at the school lab computers, it works OK but I would think for larger projects that it would be more efficient to choose a more powerful editor.

Eclipse. I've used Netbeans, found it adequate (nice GUI builder, though). A guy I once worked with swore by IntelliJ IDEA, but that'll cost you.

You mean craptastic GUI building, a lot of people think that building a GUI with Java can be as easy as doing it in VB or something, the code comes out crappy and you can't manage to make a relation in between it and the code you made your self and then you realize that you would have been much better doing the code from the ground up, I have used NetBeans for a while and just found Eclispe to be the way to go, however I have never tried any other ones so I can't comment on the rest.

UI building is definitely more complicated in Java, but it's also way more powerful than VB.

For my latest project, I ended up having to merge code from JBuilder's and Netbeans GUI builders into an Eclipse project. Eventually I found myself re-coding those classes from hand, for the reasons you mentioned above.

Used to use notepad and vi for java programming, but that was a long time ago.
