netbeans as an alternative
Authored by: ragnar on Oct 28, '02 06:20:05PM

I appreciate the efforts of the person who contributed the tip. I have nudged Forte/Sun ONE into installing on OS X and then I found that NetBeans has a OS X installer. For a little background, Sun purchased NetBeans and it basically forms the foundation for their product, however the open source <a href="http://www.netbeans.org">project</a> still continues. I've used Forte as well as NetBeans and they are functionally identical from what I can tell, so Mac users may want to check out netbeans.

If I'm mistaken about the similar roots and function of Sun ONE and netbeans please correct me.

I've found that Sun ONE is just Netbeans v4. Does anyone know where I could
find a comparison between the various (free) Java IDEs? I'm trying to find
one I can use to teach a class.
