What IDE are businesses using...

[John Waclawski]

I've worked with Eclipse & Netbeans. I REALLY prefer Netbeans because of its ease to set up, ease of use & over all its general layout. I've tinkered with Eclipse & find it rather "overbearing" for the lack of a better term.
The company I work for has some java development positions opening up next year & I want to get my foot in the door with some java training. I believe their using Eclipse but no one will give me a straight answer. If I learn as much as I can in Netbeans (which is much easier for me to learn), will I be able to port over to Eclipse fairly easily?

For those out there doing java development either professionaly or on the side, what IDE are you using?

Thanks to all that help me out with this!

I'm using Eclipse and almost all Java developers in my company that I know use Eclipse.

As far as I know Eclipse is the most used Java IDE, and NetBeans the second.

Eclipse isn't difficult to use, it's very easy when you understand the concepts of perspectives, views and editors. The help included with Eclipse explains in detail how it works.

I'm a NetBeans user and I do everything in NetBeans. Actually IDE is just a tool. Your Java skills will still apply to whichever IDE that you use.Even though I'm a NetBeans user, I have no problem using Eclipse and some other IDEs, e.g. JDeveloper or IntelliJ. Your Java skill is what most important.
