I am looking at learning to program a Java EE/SE web application with the following components:
- JBoss
- nHibernate
- JSTL
I’m sure there are other pieces. That’s all I know at the moment. Would I be better off, with Netbeans or Eclipse? Netbeans always seemed more friendly to me but I’ve never made anything big with it. I wanted to start fresh. Using the technologies I mentioned is there any advantage to one or the other?
Thanks.
If you’re using JBoss then there is Eclipse support directly:
I think the O/S definitely has a big impact on the stability of the IDE. Under Ubuntu 10 I don’t see Eclipse crash that often. I can’t speak for Netbeans unfortunately.
