This week's book giveaway is in the Testing forum. We're giving away four copies of Practical Unit Testing with TestNG and Mockito and have Tomek Kaczanowski on-line! See this thread for details.
Besides the open source and pluggin, what are the advantages for eclipse, compared with Jbuilder? Thx

From what I have read, the refactoring tool in JBuilder is not as good as the tool in Eclipse.

My experience has been that Eclipse beats the rest in performance ("measured" as GUI responsiveness), but it's been a while since I've used other IDEs so things might have changed. I'd suggest trying them out -- all vendors provide at least a trial download for their IDEs.
OTOH, if you like GUI builders and wizzards to do things for you, Eclipse might not be for you. There are less fancy stuff generating reams of code (though there are probably a lot of plugins for it or you could write one yourself).
