More fuel for the IDE wars with JBuilder 2007

My Web Tools Project demo prompted Roumen to put together another demo showing how much easier it is in NetBeans. I’d say it comes down to the different philosophies of Eclipse and NetBeans more than ease of use.

If you haven’t had your fill of the argument, I recommend this take prompted by Eclipse’s fifth birthday. Is Eclipse Poised to Move into Quiet Ubiquity?.

As if that weren’t enough, out comes JBuilder 2007, which is itself built on Eclipse.

JBuilder 2007 includes OptimizeIt for code profiling, Team Insight for integration with various collaboration and CI tools, LiveSource for UML modeling of Java projects, and Visual EJB, for GUI design of EJB modules

You can find out more in the feature matrix (PDF). For discussion, see this thread on TheServerSide. JBuilder 2007 — redesigned around Eclipse — released.

Still enjoying this? If you’ve had enough, forget about image and use the tool that works best for you!
