About Eclipse and other IDE battles.

Today, I saw an article in Csdn to write the battle between Eclipse and Netbean. The original text is as follows: http://blog.csdn.net/sean_gao/archive/2005/03/14/319461.aspx

See the following discussion, I also write some of my feelings.

Eclipse has recently stood out, largely because of Eclipse's architectural decisions, and he will be the ultimate winner. If you look at the RCP after 3.0, the new plug-in mode, and so on, will find a great change. And the support of many vendors, with its inherent advantages are inseparable.

JBuilder used, although the habit is the best, but I think the lack of JB is open, so do things will be confined to its box. Eclipse is different. Recently learned to write PHP code, there is a plug-in called PHPEclipse, you can let me on the familiar Eclipse platform to write and debug the PHP code directly. The feeling is still very energy-saving.

Eclipse is certainly not too strong to develop JSP,J2EE. But don't forget, the most important purpose of the online version is for Java Application. We usually use the Wsad, in writing a large program is much easier, but it is not free, new rad, integration of the original rational many things, believe that the function will be more powerful, although useless to know that the performance may be lower.

For graphic applications, remember that the originator of Eclipse was virtualage (as it was written), and I thought it was quite convenient at the time. and 3.0 of RCP in the use, more convenient for the development of graphics programs. And feel this feature a bit like the original Lotus, the development of the inheritance is relatively strong.

Netbean not how to use, do not dare to comment. But feel at least at home, the number of people who use it is indeed very few. Idea is good in a variety of places, but because there is no chance to try, so there is nothing to publish.

Finally, I would like to stress that Eclipse's victory is not only technical. More important is the Eclipse Foundation's victory. His open source model emphasizes that the main developers are the big vendors, rather than the old Open-source software, depending on the programmer's individual. This should be a new development direction of the open source model. Not only greatly enhance the open source software, freedom, but also improve the development of open source software efficiency. With the support of many manufacturers, it will be more closely linked with the market.
