Netbeans is not easily upgraded as new Tomcat releases become available and the Swing environment can be burdensome and buggy unlike SWT (which is what eclipse is built on). Eclispe via the Sysdeo plugin does a great job and allows you to upgrade your version of Tomcat at will. Heck!, they have plugins for just about every server out there (http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/index.jsp). Eclipse may be weak on the JSP support but that will be coming along soon (see: http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/main.html). All in all Eclipse is more intuitive. Also, I am not speaking from religious prejudice. I was a long time user of Netbeans and ardent defender against Eclipse. But, Since Eclipse 2.x things are much better. The future of Eclipse is only looking better. The version 3.0 M1 build is already out. Anyways, I know several developers who have made the switch to Eclipse.

Isaac, I too am in the market for an IDE. Can you give me some details about what features you like about NetBeans? Are you using any plugins? Any specific features that make J2EE development quicker?
