 From limited experiance with both, I found Netbeans easier to get 
productive with. It is simpler, and for me intuitive to use. I found 
Eclipse less intuitive, and in some cases the help wasn't much help. I 
suspect that Netbeans is fine for relatively small projects, with only a 
few team memebers. Eclipse seems to be aimed at larger projects, with a 
large team.
