What's everyone's opinion on those IDEs? I'm currently uysing NetBeans to develop (required for the course I'm in), but I really think it has a lot of annoyances, like how slow it is and it's inability to take input from a keyboard (I have to resort to the command line to debug programs using the Scanner class) Is Eclipse any better?

I haven't tried Eclipse but have similar experience of NetBeans on my Linux box. I felt pretty cheated when it finally finished downloading and within a couple of hours of frustration I was back in emacs

I have high hopes for Eclipse.
