Hi all,

I posted a few impressions of using NetBeans from the perspective of an

It's not a comparison, just impressions, but quite in favor of IDEA -
just if you're interested.

The only advantages (I know) of Netbeans over IDEA are:
- Netbeans uses a docking framework
- it has a more state of the art GUI editor (baseline support)

Given Matisse is open source, I wonder if anyones looked at what it
would take to extract/modify/wrap it to plugin into IntelliJ as a
plugin?

Try to extract the docking framework and you will have to integrate half of
Netbeans into your application.

Why not shock the world and instead of rewritting your IDE and basing
it on Eclipse base it on the Netbeans platform . On 2008-02-22 01:19:10 +1300, Tom ]]> said:
