There are real techinical issues, or is it just a perception problem?

My conclusion is that they are being mislead by parallels with technologies that are from both a marketing and from a technology point of view radically different from Java.

So I created a shell script, that does everything you need to bootstrap your JPackage environment except for downloading Sun Java.

It was more about JavaStudio than Creator. I hope this year we have en event centered on NetBeans itself and less on the closed forks mantained by Sun.

But missing from his claim was the need to test them also with the many cleam room, open source software JREs out there, and the need to throw out references to non-standard, vendor-provided JRE classes from application code.

Almost all main tool vendors participate in the project and you can find hundreds (if not thousands) open source plug-ins. In spite of that, Eclipse remains a difficult environment to start with, and it's not easy to identify a successful set of “must-have” open source plug-ins.

What about reading about the experiences of someone who actually spent some years teaching computer programming at college?
