Hi all, Netbeans is open source as well and is also definitely rapidly evolving. My experience is Netbeans is more mature, has more built in features and is more stable. But everyone has there own opinion.

I tried both NetBeans and Eclipse, and actually liked NetBeans a bit better, but not enough better to overcome the appeal of a rapidly-evolving open-source solution like Eclipse, which other people in my company strongly edorsed. It probably took a couple of days to be productive in Eclipse, but never looked back after that, and it's only gotten better in the 7 months I've been using it. It seems like I discover new features at least once a week, and sometimes wonder how I ever got by without them. Eclipse made a big jump when I moved to a 1.5 JDK, allowing debugging of .jsp's.
