Eclipse vs MyEclipse

[paull]

could u give information on this about which one is better for java development including spring and hibernate? eclipse or myeclipse?
thanks for your help

i'd go with myeclipse, it has spring and hibernate included in the basic $30 package and you don't have to deal with configuring eclipse to make it work, plus i've found the java profiler in myeclipse to be worth the price alone.

hope that helps!

any other advantage for myeclipse over eclipse?

Are we allowed to state disadvantages as well?
I'll post mine anyway just to spoil the fun

1.) MyEclipse 7.5 doesn't allow you to set up multiple instances of JBOSS in the same workspace.
2.) SVN plugins are all buggy (this one is really scary but normal eclipse versions don't do much better anyway).
3.) Adding multiple EJB projects to an EAR at the same time doesn't work. You have to add/remove one at a time otherwise the application.xml becomes messed up.
4.) The console sometimes refuses to show anything soon after restarting MyEclipse sometimes (I've also seen Ganymede to this once but MyEclipse does it more frequently).

Guys;

There are advantages and disadvantages to every tool. Here's a decent article that explores some of those with Eclipse and MyEclipse. And yes, it's with me. :-)
