For successful development of applications based on object-oriented languages like C++ or Java, a developer needs an IDE that would compliment him in his work. For making the task of developing a complicated application easier, IDEs have been through radical developmental changes and have come a long way from being just a text editor. Now with due respect to the complexity of applications new IDEs come with a lot of new features. Recently NetBeans, Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA have released milestone versions of their latest Java IDEs. Here, in this article we'll compare the new features in these IDEs.

Usability and Code assistance

Application Development Support Though NetBeans provides support for all Web based applications from JSP/Struts to JEE and EJBs, its prized support is for Swing, thanks to new Matisse GUI designer. Unlike other IDEs, you are not required to download any additional plug-ins for the GUI builder as this IDE comes bundled with a GUI designer. This GUI builder additionally provides Bean binding feature for database applications. You can add internationalized strings to each form, dialog or panel for the Swing components by using the 'Internationalization' feature. Rich Client Platform wizard benefits Swing developers while developing sophisticated applications.
