Netbeans Does Not Work for Me
Since a week I have to work with Netbeans and I don't like it. In my opinion an IDE should support a developer rather than telling him/her how to develop software. This also means that the developer has the choice how he builds a project and how he names stuff. But not with Netbeans because I forces you to develop as it sees fit and it sits in the middle of your project like a fat spider pulling all the strings. Probably it does it so because it can force the entire team to use Netbeans.

Andy,
- Maven support is available from the "Plugins" menu (assuming you're using 6.0).
- NetBeans handles existing ANT files very well ("free form project").
- You can easily rename EJB artifacts.
Anyway, thanks for trying out and reporting.
