Off course Netbeans... Netbeans is supported by Sun.. i.e. that every new feature in Java is done immediately by Netbeans unlike Eclipse... No...? I beg to defer :) Eclipse is a better IDE based on which many of the advanced IDE's for Java are build like WSAD (Websphere Studio Application Developer) or RAD (Rational Application Developer) both are IBM products for advanced Java programming. They contain many features that Netbeans does not have..
Eclipse and NetBeans are the most popular. Also used are IntelliJ Idea, JBuilder and JDeveloper.
