For me, Eclipse is the IDE to work with when I like to develop a Java application. But I like Swing more than SWT, so I’d like to use the Netbeans Platform for my Application.
Is it possible to develop a Netbeans Platform application in Eclipse? Where can I find information about this?
You are setting out on a great endeavour, and I want to congratulate you on your decision.
With me it is just the same. I love working with MyEclipse and Pulse. To me the Eclispe JDT are still superior to what the NetBeans IDE Editor offers – though I really have to say that the NetBeans Development Team is doing well on catching up …
Ok, I was just reminded that this is only about questions and answers, so here is the answer:
!!! YES !!! you can develop with Eclipse for NetBeans Platform !!! BUT !!! it will be painful. Using Maven can help – but you will still forfeit all the wirzards available from within NetBeans IDE eventually finding yourself writing a lot of code which could have been generated for you.
In order to stop messing up the Q&A paradigm of this site I would love to refer you the following link on Geertjan’s Blog:

I frequently revisit this entry to see if there are any new thoughts. Feel free to post there. As far as I can tell this is the best information around at the moment.
Best regards,
