10.1. What You Will LearnIn this chapter we will examine two major Open Source IDEs, NetBeans and Eclipse. We will show a straightforward installation of each. We will describe the "operating paradigm" of each and show a few major features. It should be enough to get you started using them. There are several major commercial IDEs, including Idea by IntelliJ, JBuilder from Borland, WebSphere Studio from IBM, SunONE Studio (Enterprise Edition) from Sun, and others. Because they are commercial, and not Open Source, we will not be covering them; their vendors and other experts can provide the documentation and training you need. Be advised, however, that the licenses for such commercial products typically cost anywhere from several hundred to a few thousand dollars per seat. That can make Open Source IDEs look very attractive. |
