i've just got eclipse , it great , but really hard for someone just starting like me to go with
any advice concerning another java ide ..?
don't say sun one studio , it's messy
I will say just stick to it i can't find better IDE then this.Yes if you have problem making yourself comfortable with "Perspectives" and "Views" it will take time.
Another IDE for java for people comfortable with Microsoft's Visual C++ IDE is JCreator I have only used it for small projects.
