[Eclipse notes] How about NetBeans?

Taking notes from the links provided by Kukoo's blog, it seems like the recent start of a new war of words between NetBeans and the Eclipse camp. Let's take a look at what's happened between the two opponents: first, the release of j2se5.0, almost at the same time that NetBeans announced a full new syntax support and released a new version 4.0 and a bundled version of the JDK, while Eclipse spent quite a bit of time perfecting the J2SE 5.0 compatibility of the new syntax, and no release version of Eclipse JDT has claimed 100% support for j2se5.0. It certainly didn't surprise us: who was behind NetBeans? Sun is also, this is no wonder there will be such a difference. And then the Eclipse CON2005, which is just over, in this conference, although the protagonist is still inseparable from the IBM behind Eclipse, we still see many other large manufacturers of the figure, the more heavyweight bea,borland and so on, they have announced to join the eclipse's " Strategic development camp; As Eclipse,netbeans's attention diminishes, of course, there are still a lot of NetBeans supporters rallying, but NetBeans and sun seem to be inevitably moving towards isolation. From an architectural point of view, Eclipse and NetBeans basically go the same route: Platform + Java IDE + Plugins, perhaps the biggest difference is that eclipse encourages the use of SWT to some extent, while NetBeans is more "pure" awt/ Swing. I do not know if you have a similar feeling: today it has a very important phenomenon, that is "the heart of the programmer to the world", this is for the IDE and the IDE behind the platform. Big companies like Microsoft, SUN, IBM and Borland, of course, are very aware of this, so they have all poured money into the IDE's development, and one of my blogs mentioned that there is a motivation behind eclipse to catch up with the Visual Studio series. Behind the competition for Eclipse and NetBeans, IBM is thinking more about how to attract a large number of developers, whether Java, C + +, or whatever, to the same platform, creating more potential IBM Customers (not Microsoft) , and Sun seems to want IBM to follow the rules, and the things like SWT can be placed in a relatively standardized process such as JCP, rather than a self-contained system, which is controlled by Sun. Many people may want SWT to be JCP, but now it seems that it is at best a hope, and IBM seems to have no reason, or at least unwilling to do so. We can chaseMore than a year ago, when Sun decided not to participate in the Eclipse plan, the attitudes and statements of the two parties at the time might have done so much to embarrass the present. From a purely technical point of view, Eclipse and NetBeans may really be the same for each other, but think about the stories behind it, perhaps to better understand the starting points of some of the recent rhetoric. Having said so much relative neutrality, here are some more personal points of view: Eclipse I have been using for a long time, before that, I occasionally use some other javaide such as JBuilder, since the eclipse, I have never left it, Even if Wsad is based on eclipse, frankly, I really like eclipse. Its openness is far from NetBeans and, as a fully open platform, it can easily expand, and there is a large number of open source project support, Eclipse is becoming more and more mature, I can not resist the desire and impulse to do plug-ins. It can be said that eclipse is the only IDE that can challenge Microsoft Visual Studio at the moment. It does not repel anything, one day even if you use it to do C # and what can not? The most obvious feeling of eclipse is practicality, not technology for a technology, but it also provides developers with more open choices. NetBeans is not a little touch, 3.6 of the time down to see, nothing attracted me, Bale. Recently followed the JDK together 4.0, and even under 4.1 alone, also did not leave any good impression: My system is Windows XP, installation 4.1到8%, stopped, stating that the text is "Buildingstorage ...", try n times are like this, give up. Install 4.0, see NetBeans Minimum memory requirements 384MB, recommended 512MB, I only 256MB, hard heart or installed, and really speed by the impact of memory, feel very obvious, its interface display and ease of use also some people do not dare to compliment. However, my eclipse sdk3.1m5a does not feel too slow, and the interface is neat, clear, and beautiful. I don't know if it's enough to convince you to convince myself to continue using eclipse.
