NetBeans is phased-out.

Hunch?, or you have your sources, or a wish?

Sources? dZone, of course: http://www.dzone.com/links/will_netbeans_replace_jdeveloper_as_oracles_strat.html#110669

Y'know MCII, in the last year or so of surfing DZone, I've seen hundreds of comments by you, which is admirable, but I can't remember a single one that was positive. Why don't you just change your username to 'GetOffMyLawn!' and be done with it, you grumpy old man??

"I can't remember a single one that was positive. "

Your memory seems to be very biased. Try autogenic training.

With all due respect, MCII, Daron's not the only one who's noticed that. By the DZone stats, out of your past 15 comments, none were positive, though a couple where at least not overtly antagonistic.

And 1898 down votes to 520 up?

Not that I think you shouldn't have a right to speak your mind. But don't call the rest of us "biased" if we notice.

Have a lot of fun!

Commenting and downvoting bad links is a service for ill-informed people. Do you really want only yeasayers here?

where do we determine objectively that you're voting down only "bad" links? by that standard, this is certainly a bad link -- and yet we have 15 voters who apparently thought otherwise. are they all simply ill-informed?

Voting is no substitute for expertise.

Wow, I can feel the arrogance burning off the webpage. Expertise is no substitute for courtesy.

Everyone was inexperienced and ignorant once, including you. For all we know, you might still be! In my experience, the more certain someone is, the less right they are likely to be.

JDeveloper is licensed from the old Borland JBuilder. Eclipse is licensed from IBM. Why wouldn't they take advantage of a product they OWN now? Answer: They will take advantage of it.

Just as an FYI - while the first couple of JDeveloper version were based on JBuilder, since 2001 JDeveloper doesn't have any more JBuilder code in it - note that there is no borland copyright when you start it anymore.

That means there will be no netbeans

So what's it use Eclipse?
