For Enterprise Java development, NetBeans is the final word! This IDE has
anything and everything you can imagine for your daily Java needs. What I love
about this IDE is its out-of-the-box features. A great Java editor, Ant/Maven
support, integration with SVN/Kenai, developer collab, Java EE development,
plugins for top Java web dev frameworks, support for all kinds of app servers,
nice support for Groovy, JRuby, PHP, C++, excellent plugin support, RCP... you
name it, NetBeans has it. And with NetBeans 6.7, the on-demand feature
enablement makes it really fast to use. And the fact that it is Ant-based makes
it highly customizable. IMHO, any serious Java developer should give it a spin.
Definitely worth it...
