I did do this.
Maybe it’s the version number. The last stable version in portage is 3.0.1-r2.
Wow…it’d be really nice if I had a screenshot to back this up.
EDIT: Link added.
latest release is 3.1.2, and milestone is at 3.2.5
There was a considerable period when Netbeans supported Java1.5 and Eclipse didn’t. It’s possible that this is what the OP was referring to. It’s certainly what made me switch to NB initially.
I like JBuilder2005 the best. I perfer the interface, and it makes everything accessable. Eclipse… I dont really like the curves of that programming environment nor the interface in gneral. And the way it compiles, i dont like…
Does JBuilder not have a background compiler???
I thought that was an absolutely pivotal feature of any advanced IDE;
otherwise, you lose all kinds of life/time-saving features (code navigation, refactoring, automated code generation, typed searching, heirarchy visualizing etc etc etc)
In fact I only know eclipse having that feature. Most other IDEs use a java source model generated by a parser.
The background compiling in Eclipse rules. It’s such a time saver… it’s one of the things I miss the most when I work in NetBeans.
For some reason that’s the exact feature that always seems to bug me the most. Can’t say I have a rational explanation for it though 
I prefer the Intellij way of incremental compilation (i.e. it only compiles changed files, or files with dependencies on changed files). Does netbeans recompile your entire project every time?
Nvm, I like Eclipse better now. I was just saying I think JBuilder… LOOKs better… in my opionon.
