7. 7 2008 > Jolt: Development Environment > Developer.Com: Winner -- Best Development Tool, Best Java Tool, & Best Mobile Development Tool 2007 > InfoWorld: BOSSIE Award > InfoWorld : Java IDE Innovator > O'Reilly ONJava : Winner, Java IDE Platform 2006 > Java Developer's Journal : Editors' Choice > Codie Award : Best Software Development Solution > Jolt Award : Productivity Award for NetBeans IDE “For the last two years, I have performed comprehensive IDE reviews. During that time, Eclipse-based IDEs have regularly won top honors, while versions of NetBeans have lagged badly. This is the first review in which NetBeans truly stands on a par with Eclipse, and depending on your weightings could finish ahead. NetBeans has definitely arrived and is worthy of careful evaluation.” -- Andrew Binstock, Principle Analyst, Pacific Data Works & JavaWorld Writer (March 2008 - http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2008/jw-03-java- ides0308.html) NetBeans Overview Community – Gaining Momentum
