Ghetto Java

I have been playing with Netebeans 6 since the betas and I have to say I’m impressed. The work that has been done on the editor is amazing and you can tell that they are taking cues from IDEA in that regard. For the kind of development I’ve been doing lately, Struts2/Spring/JPA webapps, NB rc1-6.0 has been solid. It’s that time again where I have to evaluate the option of getting  the next IDEA upgrade license for the development team or stick with our current (6.x) version.  My 30 day trial of IDEA 7.0.1 recently expired, so this is a great time to play with using NB 6 only for my maven based projects.  If you recall he last time I tried to have them switch to Netbeans (5.5) there was almost a mutiny.  This time I’ll let the team continue using  IDEA while I keep using Netbeans 6 for as long as possible. If I cave in I will definitely let you know.

Peace,

GJ
