after one years of use, i found netbeans is very powerful and extremely flexible ide tool. it really remove lots of dirty work from programmer side. here I want to point out a specific feature that's VERY worthwhile to note. Comapred with other popular IDE, i find the refacotring support in netbeans is very weak. though already you have refactoringit module,but it is limited and have its own restricition of use. considering the critical part refactoring play in modern programming, esp XP, I think refactoring should be an integral part of IDE release, it event deserves a first level menu in ide main screen. to quote from Martin Fowler:automatic refacoring is the most important advances in programming since the IDE. Best regards James
