Java IDEs

Initially when I started working in Java I had an option between Eclipse 3.0 and NetBeans 3.6. Eclipse was miles ahead of Netbeans and I had no hesitation to use it. But recently NetBeans4.0 was released. And I decided to give it a shot mainly because it had a free plugin for profiling. I have to admit that it has improved by leaps and bounds since its intial days. Some of the features they offer are note worthy like collabration, profiling, builtin J2EE Management, UML integration etc. I think Eclipse can learn from them. Yet if Eclipse release a stable version, it means it is stable unlike NetBeans.
