[ajug-members] Your favorite IDE

[Dan Marchant]

I used Sun's Studio One tool which is based on NetBeans 5.0. The GUI
creation was nice  but I have to admit that the whole .Net IDE market
has the monopoly on good UI creation.

Take a look at the free IDE:

Net Beans is getting better though at the web based GUI design. This
is an area where the Java community could surpase the .Net community
if we tried.
