i was wondering what other people used and how useful they find their IDE to be. i tried to use JBuilder (Borland) but their registration is so convoluted i just stopped trying and said "bleh". right now i''m using or better to say getting to know JCreator. i randomly picked it but i''m glad i did. it very similar to the Visual C++ IDE so the learning curve is almost nil.

yeah, i used jcreator for a long time. its great and simple...i still use it for the default java viewer (since it loads quickly) for when i download code just to look at or something.

i use eclipse now, and i dont think i''ll turn back. its sooo full featured, you can basically do anything, right from the ide.

that''s also its downside...it takes me a long time to figure out how to do something new, and i feel like theres all this hidden stuff that could be so useful to me, but i dont even know it exists. small price to pay though.
Has to be Eclipse. Suddenly everything becomes easier. I even use it for C++ development now.

Eclipse.
Eclipse. I can''t imagine using anything else now. The C/C++ plugin still requires a bit too much effort for my liking, but once it''s complete I''ll be using Eclipse for that as well.
I have not used Eclipse. If the learning curve is steep, does anyone know of a good tutorial on getting it up and running???

does Emacs count?
I like Visual Slick Edit (not free). Eclipse is good too.
Another vote for Eclipse.

Only drawback is there is no visual editor. I haven''t searched for one yet either, so there may be one out there.

Never used Eclipse, the most IDEs I tried didn''t support the right Java version, or fullscreen programs. So I''m currently using KWrite (Text editor for KDE (Linux))

KWrite is has some basic functions; code highlighting, auto indent and some more, nothing special. I would like to use an auto complete funtion and an easy class/function/variable browser I hope Eclipse support that, I''m gonna check it out now.
