If Eclipse wasn't free we could make a commission :) I have never done a comparison between JCreator and Eclipse. Just looking at the feature set for JCreator on their web page, there is nothing that Eclipse does not do. The one advantage I see is that Eclipse is free, JCreator is not. The only problem I have with Eclipse is that it does not support subversion out of the box. This is not a big deal though since you can install the subclipse plugin for Eclipse here ( http://subclipse.tigris.org/install.html).
In the spirit of fairness and competitiveness, NetBeans is another very nice, robust IDE. On 7/25/07, Kevin Smeltzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ok I didn't tell the whole truth. I got it working at some point. And then I didn't use it. I suppose I was comfortable with JCreator because it was easy and I knew it. Tell me, what can Eclipse do for me? See now you are a salesman! You should be making a commission. On 7/25/07, Jeroen Brattinga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A 700MB zip file for Eclipse?
