Netbeans / Eclipse, and Role of Software Architects Two items caught my eye recently.

First, Sun announced today the "Switch to NetBeans" program. Primarily targeting Eclipse users, those who download the NetBeans 4.1 Beta will find functionality to import an Eclipse module into NetBeans. If you are using Eclipse and getting frustrated with the plug-in maze, perhaps it's time to give NetBeans a(nother) try. Switch to NetBeans I ran across an excellent article on the growing influence and demand for Software Architects within Information Technology organizations. I also liked the fact that it ( not by name, but by description ) advocated the "Hands On Architect" Team Composition Pattern. For a great read on the value of architecture, Click here And finaly, welcome to my Blog! - David Hecksel ( Mar 09 2005, 03:56:52 PM CST ) Permalink Comments [3]

Switch to NetBeans and when Sun lays you off, you'll be out of the job market, as no one is using NetBeans. And Sun will lay you off as the writing is on the wall for NetBeans (that is if you're with NetBeans team). Oh well, same old, same old, instead of focus, Sun is trying to do all at once.

The article on "Architects" is excellent. Thanks for the link. As for IDE's I guess developers will keep using what they feel comfortable with, unless there's a strong client preference for a specific IDE.
