But Eclipse is more than a programming tool
with the RCP (Rich Client Platform).
Note that Eclipse uses SWT, not Swing or AWT.

Used a commercial program based on Eclipse a while ago
Visual Mining's NetCharts design tool is an Eclipse plugin.

In your opinion, perhaps.
In mine, the apps I mentioned are just fine, and fine examples of production-level, GUI-based Java programming. I find DBVisualiser to be the cleanest of the bunch, but I use NetBeans most often.
I have also used Eclipse for a while, and it too is a fine Java application. I don't use it for reasons that basically boil down to "Eclipse and all of its extensions still don't do a couple of the things that I want out of an IDE." Other than that, though, I find it a fine application.
Let's not forget that You Are Not The God Of All That Is Good And Right In The Java World. I'm not claiming that I am, either, mind you...I'm relating my experiences. And you saying "wrong" does not invalidate my experiences. I will also point you to [link|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=208591|this post] where [link|/forums/render/user?username=mmoffitt|mmoffitt] claims the same thing, but about a different topic.

If I thought NetBeans was decent, I wouldn'a paid $ for IDEA
cheap bastard that I am. Ditto Eclipse.

IDEA >> NetBeans, or anything else.
Except Emacs, of course. :-)
I hope they fix the incremental search in IDEA some time. I might actually consider using it again.

thanks
hadn't played with DB Visualizer, looks cool. Also, [link|http://www.inetsoftware.de/products/crystalclear/|i-Net Crystal Clear reports] works pretty good.

np
I've paid for it -- it's a much more powerful tool, allowing you to see, view, and change more parts of the database (Oracle, in my case) than the free version. I could be wrong, also, but I believe that the free version expires after 30 days. Use it enough, and you will become addicted...
