Plus, with the nitrous performance of SWT, Eclipse, in my opinion, is the number one IDE for Java. SUN should definitely take a closer look. Native integration of SWT into the Java core (and out with AWT) would do great benefit to the Java community.

Lack of fundamental facilities like multiple run configurations and project groups just don’t quite cut it for me.

I haven’t had time to check this plugin out myself, but it sounds like it might be right up your alley. It’s the second one listed here.

So will I be switching to NetBeans tomorrow? I’m afraid not.
