    I downloaded NetBeans and played with the GUI builder for about 15
    minutes (I know, not a lot of time). It reminded me *A LOT* of an
    X-Windows GUI builder I used in the early 1990s (so much for progress?).
    It's probably usable (that's all I'd say about the X-Windows one), but I
    don't know how well it refactors/scales/etc. It certainly isn't an
    InterfaceBuilder. :-)

    Ah well...

    /dev/mrg

    PS. I still think I like Eclipse as a better overall editor. I didn't
    play with the NetBeans profiler, either.

    I wanted to evaluate NetBeans GUI builder for some time. Just waiting
    for a good project to come up. If you have any positive/negative
    experience with it (including integration with Cayenne), please share.
