I'm learning Java and was trying the Eclipse IDE though some people told me Netbeans is better. I wanted some input from you guys.

I'm developing programs for the uni and for the company I'm working at and I think, Eclipse is for the first encounter a bit overloaded. Alot of settings you can do, but when you get used to it, you will notice how much it supports you.

You will love the "CTRL-Space" (code completing, try typing "for" and then the comb. e.g. ), CTRL+1 error/warning solving, "CTRL+F" for formatting the code (by a given formatter you can choose or by the default Java conventions) and organizing Imports with "CTRL+O" makes Eclipse , imho, the most comfortable IDE out there.

Well we started off using text editor plus terminal. But you recommend Eclipse then? Alright good to know.

Bumping this topic, but I'm transitioning to C++ from Java, and I wanted to see if I could keep using Eclipse with the C++ plugins or whether I should use Visual Studio or Codeblocks (assume price isn't a problem MSDN <3)

I haven't used Eclipse for C++, and so I don't know how it compares to the Java version. In any case my tutorial has an open space for an installation guide if anyone wants to write it. :D

AFAIK, it's very similar to Java, so potentially yes :lol:

C# is Microsoft Java, basically, but they gave their own spin on the runtime system so in practice it's quite different. I've never used it, and don't really intend to as some parts of the implementation are patented in some countries. And Microsoft is probably just waiting to set off the patent bomb at the right moment.

It's no problem developing C++ programms with eclipse, I do so (aside of Java)

If you are already using linux, just install the C++ plugin for eclipse via --> software updates
If you are under windows, you have to install cygwin or minsys with mingw :P

Some tutorial how to do so:

Yes, yes, i know :D But I think this doesn't need a new thread.

I'm looking for a GUI editor for Java, and since I use Eclipse, I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations?

I don't get it. You're using Eclipse right? That's a Java IDE. Unless you mean something to edit Swing in? This may help
