It takes a bit of time to learn to use a complex IDE like Eclipse and 
discarding it after 15 minutes is a bit hasty IMHO. I've used it for a 
few years now and can't remember how much time it took to get started. I 
think I started quite simply and without much difficulty, using it to 
edit and manage forth source files for different projects and gradually 
learned how to use other features as and when needed. When you mention 
"an IDE with Java Beans" do you mean Netbeans? Anyway as I've never used 
that I've no idea how it compares with Eclipse.
