Eclipse, NetBeans, Java Studio Creator

Hi, I am in the process of learning Java. I have been using Eclipse to try some simple example code. However, I am thinking of trying NetBeans since it has a GUI editor. And last, in my Java book, the author recommends using Java Studio Creator 2 in order to build applications.

Could someone explain to me what is the difference between these three IDEs, and possibly which one us the best. Thank you

If you're just learning, use the command line rather than relying on IDE magic. Also, do GUI code yourself at least once just to see how annoying it is, then run to the GUI builders. For later use, once you know what's actually going on, I've used both Eclipse and Netbeans. Eclipse is significantly more customizable, but lacks a default GUI builder. Netbeans is probably slightly faster, but, really, it's up to you which you try. I don't know anything about Studio Creater, but if it's not free (as in beer), given the quality of both of the others, go with one of them instead.
