#NETBEANS IDE FOR WINDOWS XP KEYGEN#

Even if it’s not the most widely deployed, Eclipse is just an unbelievable piece of technology. I have to think Eclipse is by far the most widely deployed client-side Java application there is, so that in and of itself says something.

Sun should join Eclipse in the goal of taking on Microsoft. They should both check out and move beyond a us vs. With Eclipse/SWT you get stuck with IE on Windows with incomplete event monitoring and control, and Swing has a completely unusable and worthless HTML component. Furthermore, they both absolutely suck in regards to providing a decent browser component. For example, *both* IBM/Eclipse and Sun should be working to make it easy to integrate the OpenOffice API as a web services framework. They are probably more solid and have overall higher quality than VS.NET, but VS.NET just has so many features and has the entire Windows stack to leverage and draw upon for integration. From the standpoint of Microsoft and it’s tools story, both Eclipse and Netbeans have a lot of catching up to do. The bottom line is that IBM has it right with whom to target. SWT gives you some low level control, but it’s not nearly as feature rich as the basic Swing feature set, much less combined with the huge third party support for Swing. SWT is nice for some things, but overall I think Swing is a much better API. This will sound strange, but I use SWT *and* Swing pretty extensively in my own application. However, the GUI builder in Eclipse also supports Swing components natively on their own and you can also embed Swing components inside SWT. Swing debate in so far as Netbeans would in theory support Swing much better than SWT. I have a sneaking suspicion that Sun doesn’t like the idea of Eclipse doing so well because it’s somehow tied into the SWT vs. Regardless, Eclipse is close to unstoppable at this point. It does seem like Netbeans is more intuitive overall, but I just haven’t really ever used it enough to tell. I wish every menu structure in every application allowed you to filter like that. For example, it took me a fairly long time to get comfortable reassigning keys, but now I see that it’s quite powerful and the new “filter” is really slick.

Lots and lots of things aren’t obvious with it, and it’s hard to discover a lot of the functionality just by using it without having someone show you the way or seriously digging around. It also seems much cleaner and better organized.Įclipse is extremely powerful, but it takes some getting used to and actual learning and still is rather rough around the edges in terms of conceptual polish where some concepts could be much better implemented (two cases in point, tasks and setting position marks inside code). I recently downloaded the newest Netbeans and I was quite surprised that, with the exception of the putrid disgusting non-AA fonts, Netbeans actually looks much nicer asthetically.

That said, I’m using 3.1M7 on Fedora and it is pretty slow. Whatever will replace Eclipse not only has to be better, it has to be way, way better. At this point, I could not program without Eclipse and anything else will have to play catch up in a big way. Before Eclipse, I tried Netbeans and a bunch of other IDE’s, and Eclipse was the closest one to actually making me productive without too much overhead of working inside a framework. If that even factored in 1% in Sun’s decision not to support Eclipse, then they are out of their minds. The first thing is that the comment about the name “Eclipse” and how Sun was apparently bothered by it at one point is just rediculous.
