IDE alternatives
• Eclipse

• NetBeans
http://www.netbeans.org/
• Both are free, have GUI-builder, debugger, CVS, mobility pack, can be used
for Java and C/C++, can handle external compile/build/deploy such as ANT.
They also have plugins for profiling and javadoc generation. Both are
platform independent and can be used on both Linux and Windows…
• Another useful application is ESS-model.
