Several years ago, I tried NetBeans vs Eclipse and chose NetBeans altough it was far from perfect, but Eclispe was not better. The GUI was better.
I do not regret my choice. NetBeans has always progressively improved on its weaknesses, releases after releases. I revisited Eclispe a couple of times, but was not overall convinced by it.
- zalew 13y agoI chose Eclipse back in the day (3.2?) and forgot about the existence of NB, nowadays I'm starting to slowly drift towards Vim or lightweight ides like NinjaIDE, yet my bloat editor habits still demand having something packaged at hand. I guess I'll try NB74.
- harrytuttle 13y agoDoes it do incremental compilation now? One of the killers for me with NetBeans (and Visual Studio) was the compilation waits. I'd swap back from eclipse in an instance if they do that.
- JVerstry 13y agoIt has for a long time. Just invoke the 'Build Project' (F11) functionality, instead of the 'Clean & Build Project' one (Shift+F11). Or if you mean dynamic recompilation of your code as you type it to warn you of possible errors, then yes, it does that too...
- harrytuttle 13y agoExcellent. Thanks for the information.
