NetBeans Vs Eclipse

with 2 comments

Let me clear in beginning, I am strong fan of Eclipse. I have been using Eclipse for past 3 years and its very powerful. I love it for whole lot of reasons which I can't mention here. In Javaone conference I heard a lot about cool NetBeans demos and features. I just thought to give a try to that. I was not hoping much from NetBeans. I installed IDE, enterprise pack & profiler. I created a simple web-application project. The integrated Glassfish / Sun App server really makes testing very easy. Just out-of-curiosity I clicked on debug button after placing a breakpoint in bean and surprisingly it allowed me to debug my web-application. Previously I remember, I used to spend lots of hours by writing log traces and analyzing them to debug application. Man, that’s really handy!Beyond that, UML modeling (both way), testing, Web-services & BPEL integration makes NetBeans a real powerful JavaEE IDE. Tons of wizards are available to perform typical coding / modification tasks. Its aware of Java 2, 5 & 6 syntax aware so it makes development easier for any version of Java. JSF & Struts are integrated so no worry for web developers.But I need to admit the editor of Eclipse is far rich than NetBeans. For everything else the NetBeans is just superb! Waiting for more in coming days. :)

AJAX is giving now ability to send/receive XMLHttpRequest and XMLHttpResponse from the client/server to and fro.

with one comment

I would like to go with Cocoon for my first post on this blog. My first encounter with Cocoon happened, when I was in design of a web based application. I wanted a simple framework which doesn't hogs much server side resources and gives me ability of a very dynamic and configurable web application.
