NetBeans IDE recommended
NetBeans IDE was recommended as the best IDE for Java application development during this session. The speaker has more than 5 years experience in Java application projects and he mostly used NetBeans.
Before that, he used Eclipse, but he moved to NetBeans to the point that it has now become his favorite IDE. He finds NetBeans easy to use and it helps to quickly develop both Java desktop and Java web software. He pointed out that NetBeans is pure Java based and closely linked to Java specification evolution.
He's also right in that NetBeans integrates the majority of the essential servers and plugins and that the IDE is downloadable with most of them.
In conclusion, he highly recommended to use NetBeans as the IDE for professional or academic applications.
