It seems like a lot of this (at least #2 and #3) can be handled by the Jalopy plugin: http://www.triemax.com/products/jalopy/manual/plugin-netbeans.html However, with Eclipse it comes for free... :-) Right now the only thing preventing me from introducing netbeans in an eclipse env at a very large financial firm is code formatting. The reason this is a big issue - if we do not manage to get netbeans to format like eclipse, the clearcase will start showing differences due to formatting all over the place and the actual change would become very difficult to find, so this is absolutely essential if you want netbeans and eclipse to co-exist in any real world project, people might now say it explicitly but this would be showstopper. I have been trying to change eclipse rules and netbeans rules to match but the biggest stumbling block is the weird feature you guys have added in 6.0 where code formatting will completely ignore line breaks. Eclipse has this cool feature that if your code line get longer than a predefined limit (say 135 ) then it will break it into multiple lines. But netbeans will make it one long line again. You can contact me directly for more details - pramod@pravaah.com The reason I changed it to a P1 - if you could just introduce a new flag so netbeans will not ignore line breaks or get netbeans to split a line when it goes longer than a certain limit it will atleast be possible for netbeans and eclipse to co-exist otherwise it is a deal breaker. There new formatting setting introduced in 6.0, including the line wrap options. See Options->Java Code-> Formatting The latest daily build should also respect line breaks. Other features requested in this issue are unfortunately not implemented yet and won't be included in 6.0, since the 6.0 is feature frozen now.
