The Eclipse Project has released the final version 3.0 of the popular Eclipse IDE. I am currently IntelliJ IDEA and I still very much love this IDE (even though I’m still stuck with version 3.0.5), but Eclipse 2.1 looked very promising when I played with it briefly a while ago, and I am sure that Eclipse 3.0 will be even better.
With a great open source IDE like Eclipse and the excellent (and unfortunately not free but at least reasonably-priced) IntelliJ IDEA, the big, bloated, and expensive IDEs such as JBuilder should be in a lot of trouble…
