Answer 5

I have used several different IDE's for Java including Eclipse and Netbeans. Both of which are fine and of those 2 I preferred Eclipse (except that Netbeans had a better wysiwyg design than the plugins for Eclipse when it came to using AWT and Swing). That being said I use IntelliJ and most of Jetbrains other IDE's for other languages. If you are ever planning on getting into Android programming I would strongly suggest that this be the IDE that you use as Android Studio is adopted from IntelliJ by Jetbrains.

Answer 6

You can use anyone but I feel eclipse is better than netbeans.
