Use Eclipse. It's free and loaded with tons of features!!

Thanks for your advice...

According to your experience, if compared Eclipse with Netbeans, which one is better?

I have not used neither of them. But from what I have read Eclipse is suppose to be better.

JCreator + JFrameBuilder

JCreator is a lightweight Java IDE.

JFrameBuilder is a lightweight, fast Java GUI Builder.

I didn't like JFrameBuilder.
I create every frame using GridBagLayouts, my impression was, JFrameBuilder can't handle them.

Other question:
Until now I uset NetBeans and I created a lot of forms.

Is Eclipse able to import the forms created with NetBeans?

I wouldn't like to do all the work again (at least not now, in a few months I will have to).

Hi Matthias,

Could u tell how to see the output of java file after compiled?
As normal in other IDE, when we run a java file, we will get the output from the output pane but i can't see any in Netbeans.
For example, System.out.println("Hello World!");
in the output pane we should see something like Hello World! but i can't any there.
If any solutions or steps, pls advise.
Thanks.

IntelliJ is by far the best IDE I have used, and I have used several, not JCreator though.

There's a thousand IDEs, none of them is "best".
If there really were a "best" IDE all the others would disappear quickly as everyone switched to it.

Eclipse is nice, so is JBuilder. Heard good things about IDEA, didn't like Netbeans much (but that was a while ago).
VisualAge was a disaster (though others liked it), Visual J++ was decent (though the anti-Microsoft crowd attacked it for being Microsoft).
And that's just a few of the ones I've seen over the years.

Each has strengths and weaknesses, none is perfect for everything.

To see the program output in NetBeans, look at the Output Window.

That's the same window where you see the error messages when trying to compile the code.

Can someone recommend me an IDE for JDK 1.5 application developing?
I have JBuilderX and JBuilder2005 and both of them use JDK 1.4.2 Borland Make.
And I didn't like the plugins I found for JBuilderX.
