Yes, I'm aware of Netbeans, but Eclipse appears to be broader in scope.
AFAIK Netbeans is a *Java* IDE (in Java and for Java), whereas Eclipse
is more like a cross-language IDE specification, which happens to currently
be implemented in Java.

Actually, I installed NetBeans on my laptop the other day, but it crashes
X on startup; I was considering trying it on my (slower but more stable)
desktop, but ran across Eclipse in the course of looking for something
else. It seemed really cool, and in any case I need something that will
run on both machines if at all possible.

Anyway, I'll see what I can do with it. Once I get this $&#!@*(%) gdk-pixbuf
package to compile.
