Java Development on a Mac - Xcode, Eclipse, or Netbeans [closed]
I would advocate Eclipse on the Mac for Java, mosly because I had a very good experience. I'm not going to bang on about its merits as an IDE, but here are some unexpected advantages I found:
- When my employer switched IDE's to Eclipse I was way ahead.
- Pretty much any language I fancied trying out had a free IDE somewhere as an Eclipse plug-in, so I have a very consistent multi-language development environment.
- When I eventually went over to the Windows dark side I could use the same development environment, which was a huge relief.
But this is a bit of a religious topic, so expect to get a whole bunch of different opinions
