For a new project we are evaluating Eclipse and Netbeans.
Jbuilder has not made the short list.
I wonder if anyone is using Jbuilder 2007 ?

I plan to use it as soon as it's J2EE is up to my current code base.
There is things I use that are not currently supported by integrated
importer and also EJB designer has problems with these things.

I am using JBuilder 2007 at work. Besides other featues, the UML
features in it (from Together) are very nice.

Interesting answer...

Care to share with us your reasoning?

I can understand the draw to go towards Eclipse, given their domination of the market in terms of userbase, but I'm not sure what good reasons there are for going from JBuilder to Netbeans.

Cheers,

Andy

I won't address much of the post, but I do have a couple of quick comments:

"If you are a JBuilder user you should consider NetBeans. Why? Because it is much closer to the original JBuilder (2005 or earlier)" -- this is based upon the HUGE assumption that 2005 is "better". IMHO, it is just "different" and once you get used to it, you very well may like 2007 better.

"Swing vs. SWT - if you prefer Swing user interfaces, you'll have to get used to SWT." -- Rubbish. Eclipse provides the ability to use SWT, but there is no reason you have to. If you like swing, you can keep using it.

"No support for <whetever>" -- there are free plugins for all the things that they mentioned.

"growth" -- while each IDE claims that their's is "fastest growing" or some such nonsense, I am highly suspct about the statistics. I suggest reading this post for some interesting data: http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t65767.html

"community" -- At last estimation by a non-biased survey (in september), eclipse had over 2.27 Million users. I think netbeans was somewhere around 900,000 according to their own data. I personally would perfer to get support from the largest community possible when I have issues.

Anyway, food for thought.

I switched to Eclipse from JBuilder 2005. Although there were some
features that I miss (It has no built-in JAR signing capability? Maybe
JBuilder 2007 adds it), the raft of new features in Eclipse well makes
up for it. Eclipse is surprisingly faster than JBuilder 2005 - The
incremental compiler means that your files are compiled silently in the
background every time you save, not slowing you down in the slightest.
When you click "run", it *runs*! I used to be able to read a newsgroup
post in the time it took JBuilder 2005 to decide that 2 classes had
changed and recompile them. Eclipse is instantaneous. Another great
speed boost comes from the hot code replacement facility - If you're
debugging your application, you can make changes to your code and see
the results instantly, without relaunching. Although it has limitations,
it's perfect for making spacing and colour adjustments to your GUI
drawing code!

If JBuilder 2007 adds most of the little niceties that JBuilder 2005 has
into Eclipse, it's gotta be a winner. Myself, I could never afford it,
so I'm staying with Eclipse Smile.

Cheers,
Nicholas Sherlock

JBuilder just got too expensive for me. I've started using Eclipse which is free.

Lot's active developers using it who produce many useable plugins -- many free some commercial.

It's interface is different from JB but once I got used to it I see the power of Eclipse. It's really good for debuging and developing. Not so good at editing but there are a bunch of editor plugins.

HTH,

Sun's "blogs" are little more than their own hype engine. Netbeans is a
decent enough IDE, but JBuilder 2007 is built on a solid platform.
Netbeans really only became little more than a bad joke after 5.0 shipped.
Between the two I'd rather use JBuilder 2007.

I have to concur with this. JB2006 was (and is for the time being) a good
product. I have had nothing but trouble getting Eclipse into a usable
state in the past. We just got our JB2007 upgrade and I think I can say we
won't be renewing our contract.

If you find Eclipse frustrating to use, skip JB2007.

Right. Pay for JB2007 and then try to find non-buggy plugins to make it
work the way it should in the first place.
