Not always pal. You may use different IDEs in the future. I don't think Notepad++ is much better for Java coding at all.

I really like eclipse. A little off-topic but not really when I move to C++ I think I'm going to use visual studios,

Eclipse is Owning. . . =P
Im also a Netbeans user. 6.1 is not that slow anymore. NEtbeans is a userfriendly IDE. You have the option to hardcode or use the build in feature. Just click and drag and the Netbeans will generate the code. The Only downfall is you need a LOT of RAM! about 1GB minimum if you will use j2EE. =) If you are running on 256mb the Compiling time and dispatch time of J2EE is around 12-15 Minutes per 1 set of Codes. =( But the Best part of Netbeans 6.0.1 and 6.1 is how the IDE handles error. There is this new Squiggle in 6.0.1 and 6.1 it is in color Yellow and Gray. The red means error and clicking the sidebar will show you the error and possible solutions. The Yellow Squiggle, tells that you are most likely double declaring the same variable. And the Gray Squiggle tells you that you havent used that Variable yet or havent used at all. ^_^ Netbeans is a Great IDE for Begginers. =P You can also add the javadocs to the IDE so that when you press Ctrl+Space it also shows the description of the command you selected. =P

Definitely it is. Did you read the tag line of it, "The Only IDE you need" It's true, you can do what ever you want using it.

Hi Cy-baba,

Welcome to our community.

First time I heard about that IDE. I don't know how far it's advanced like most popular IDEs available at the time.

Hey Eranga,
Thanks for the warm welcome.

Yup... EditPlus can, at best, be considered a very good replacement for Notepad (I know that doesn't speak volumes for it's quality). But I also remember working with Eclipse for the first time and also the bewilderment that followed, hence the newbie in me says "EditPlus"
Looking forward to graduate to using Eclipse, though

Cheers!
