My java work is almost entirely server based (mostly servlets) and I really like fact that with NB you can just press the debug button and have it start up inside it's built-in tomcat. The main downsides are that I don't find it as slick or fast in use as any of the microsoft visual studio IDEs, In particular it seems very slow when single-stepping compared to something like VB6. I don't have any interest in running on any playform other than windows, or on developing GUI apps. I'd appreciate any comments from people who have used both these IDEs. I see the IDE as purely a tool so I don't want to try learning a new one for the sake of it, unless there is a good chance it will be more suitable than the one I'm running already.

Have you tried NetBeans 3.6?? I'ts very fast compared to the old 3.x branch... For Eclipse i have used only the Lomboz free plug-in for a small time, but i'm going back to NetBeans. I think that using only Eclipse free plug-ins, for now NetBeans is the right choice for the development and deployments of JSP/Servlets apps. I like both IDE's, currently i use Eclipse for all my non visual Java projects, and NetBeans 3.6 for Servlet/JSP development.

Thanks Tony, I am still on 3.5 and I must admit I didn't know 3.6 was out - It seems pretty silly how the "Update Center" feature doesn't even inform you when there is a new version available. I'll go with 3.6 on my new PC I think. hopefully the performance improvements, in conjunction with newer hardware will make it more usable for me.
