Andrew Binstock rounds up the Java IDEs
Andrew Binstock sits on the judge's panel for the prestigious Jolt awards 
and writes about enterprise development tools for InfoWorld and SD Times. In this discussion with Andrew Glover, Binstock explains the technology and market factors shaping the rapid evolution of
Java IDEs today. Find out what makes Eclipse the "800 pound gorilla" of Java IDEs, what its weaknesses are, and what the newly
released NetBeans 6 is doing to catch up. Binstock also explains the respective appeal of commercial tools like JBuilder,
JDeveloper, and IBM Rational Application Developer, and why IntelliJ IDEA is his choice for an IDE that "just works."
