But back then we used JBuilder at the company I was working at. JBuilder was a good IDE at that time, so we had no reason to change.<br /><br />Later I started to use Eclipse, because JBuilder got so much features, it really was getting slow. Eclipse on the other hand was 'lite' and fast. But as time continued I expanded my Eclipse environment with a lot of useful plugins, but this really slowed down Eclipse. And every time a new version of Eclipse was released I had to look for the plugins again installed them, it was just too much work for me.<br /><br />So a couple of month ago I decided to give NetBeans a try. I had read about on blogs and it looked like a nice, fast IDE. And it is! I was really impressed by the rich feature set of NetBeans, and still I get good performance.<br /><br />The plugin architecture makes it easy to stay up-to-date and to install plugins. I have tried to write some small extensions to the IDE and it turned out to be quite easy to do. The native support for Maven2 was for me the great surprise. How easy it is to work with Maven from the IDE, great stuff! And I can't wait for the next release to use the Groovy/Grails support of NetBeans.<br /></blockquote><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What do you like best about NetBeans?</span><br /><blockquote><br />I always had my command prompt open to invoke build commands, like with Maven or ANT. But with NetBeans I don't need that anymore. I can invoke all the commands from within the IDE, without any difficult configurations. This is the first time I got this from an IDE (so<br />really the I from IDE is true).<br /><br />The great support for <span style="font-weight: bold;">Maven2</span> is something I really like. I could open all my Maven projects and work right away with the source code in NetBeans.<br /><br />I also like the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tomcat</span> integration. I have used a lot at my last project and especially the hot deployment of code. I only had to change my source files and hit the Refresh button in my web browser and I immediately saw the changes.<br /><br />The extension mechanism of NetBeans is also something I like. I have not done much with it, but the little things I tried to do were easy. And finally I like the 'lite' feel of NetBeans. Although it has a lot of features, I don't see it in the performance. Menu's popup quickly, working with files is quick, it just feels good and not bloated and slow.<br /></blockquote><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Thanks for contributing...Hubert.

I like coding and exploring new technologies.I am an uncompromising Manchester United fan and in free time, I read novels, go out with friends, watch movies...<br /></blockquote><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">When did you first start using NetBeans?</span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><blockquote>I first started using NetBeans about four months ago. Before that I was into Microsoft .Net and Visual Studio (Although I knew very little about these technologies to be frank!). Mr Rohan Ranade, Sun MicroSystems, Banglore, had visited our campus in January and gave a three day seminar on NetBeans and other Sun Technologies. It was he who inspired me to migrate to java and NetBeans, and since then I have started exploring NetBeans and developed a strong liking for it!</blockquote><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What do you like best about NetBeans?</span><br /><blockquote>Frankly speaking, I am still a relative newcomer in this area, so me commenting on the plus-es and minus-es of this fantastic IDE, might not be very appropriate. But, still I would try to highlight the main factors that proved to be the catalyst in making me fall in love with NetBeans :-).<br /><br />1. NetBeans can be considered to be the front runner when it comes to satisfying the notion "The only IDE you need"! And I say that not because it is the tag line of NetBeans. Just look at the range of support NetBeans has offers for software development and you will realize it for yourself.<br /><br />2. Wide range of robust API are provided for everything that you can think of. Module development support, and platform application development support are my personal favourites!<br /><br />3. Opportunities for youngsters and students - NetBeans has opened up new spheres for students and youngsters like me and provide plenty of opportunities to contribute through plugins, community docs as well as mailing lists help us to interact with the best in business. What more can a newcomer ask?</blockquote><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Thank you Jay for great contributions!
