4. Conclusion
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NETBEANS, ECLIPSE AND RAILO.
The NetBeans, Esclipse and Railo are more similar than they are different. Both provide a framework for
desktop application developers. In both cases, a large number of features are provided out of box, from
a docking framework, to an action system, to update facilities and much more. In both cases, a rich set
of APIs are provided, accompanied by many tutorials, FAQs and several books. However, there are some
very significant differences to be aware of when choosing three of them.
From what i know that a lot of people use NetBeans an eclipse.(I use Railo before this analysis). I also
know that Eclipse is supposed to be more advance people, and NetBeans is better for people starting
out. What else is the NetBeans and Railo has a very nice GUI builder that eclipse doesn’t but I choose
the Eclipe because from this survey that I do I found the Eclipse environment it much more better then
the other.
