Java IDE Was: Re: [OT}Difference JDBC connection for AS400 and Postgres

I use both NetBeans and eclipse (RDi actually). I think NetBeans is hands
has the best GUI editor, but that's about all I really use it for. I'm so
used to eclipse that I get lost in NetBeans. Plus, since I develop in RPG
too, it's just easier to use RDi.

I have found developers with a strong GUI background or those who develop
GUI programs tend to prefer NetBeans. Those who do more enterprise back-end
tend to prefer eclipse. No scientific study, just from what I here on
podcasts and this forum in general.

I'd love to hear about what NetBeans can do for us :-D

Actually, since we don't use WebSphere here, I wasn't aware that there
were problems with it. But I did ask to make sure, and got this
response from one of the NetBeans developers:

WebSphere support is currently available on the update center for
"dev" builds (6.7 pre-RC and 6.8), but not for 6.7 RC builds. The
reason is that there are some major bugs reported, which we were not
able to resolve so far:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/buglist.cgi?issue_id=155521,161284

It seems to us that most users will be hitting these bugs, which
renders the WebSphere plugin almost unusable. However, we would
appreciate if you could try out the WebSphere plugin for dev builds,
and see if it works for you. If it does, then great, and we can
publish the plugin on the update center for 6.7 RC/FCS. If it does not
work and you hit major problems, then we of course welcome any help in
investigating and/or fixing issues with the plugin.

I'd assume that a fair amount of people on this list are using
WebSphere, so if you're interested in helping that along by filing issue
reports &c., it would be a good way to contribute. I can help with any
questions re. how to get the plugin and to file reports.
