Eclipse guy
Ed Burnette，Eclipse guy，小有名氣的Eclipse blogger之一，準備使用一下NetBeans 4.1 (也許Ed是受了NetBeans Day 0的感染，我也差一點去重裝NetBeans，但是忙著看blogs，卻給忘了）。
“Recently I decided to give NetBeans another try since I’d heard version 4.1 was much improved over previous versions. My journey started at the NetBeans download site. -- Ed Burnette”
Ed 在他的blog中描述了他如何下載，安裝，測試一個簡單的程序（在Java SE 6 Preview版本下失敗了）和總體印象。 最后，Ed 給出的評價是：
“NetBeans provides a good breadth of features out of the box, but it lacks depth. It builds in some things that are add-ons to Eclipse such as XML editing and a GUI designer. ….. However when you dig into the features like code formatting, the functionality and the polish that comes from years of community input is not there. …… Of course, NetBeans is not standing still, and some of the things they’re planning for future releases look good. But I plan on sticking with Eclipse for my day-to-day programming environment. - -- Ed Burnette”
Ed 最終還是回到了Eclipse（估計如果是我，也會回來的，所以，不試NetBeans也罷）。
NetBeans guy
Gregg Sporar, NetBeans小組的成員之一，在JavaOne 2005年會上，
Bjorn Freeman-Benson （Eclipse Foundation技術總監）共同做的。
“They covered a lot of ground so no topic got covered in great depth, but that was their intent. In other words, their presentation matched the abstract listed in the conference guide: their community, the Eclipse platform, the special projects, etc. -- Gregg Sporar”
Gregg比較感興趣的是聽眾提出的問題。 一個聽眾問，"Are there any plans to get Eclipse and NetBeans on the same track?"，也許是問Eclipse和NetBeans是否會合并，Mike的回答很簡單，No。 另一個聽眾問Eclipse 3.1何時可以發布？ 其實這個問題不用問，JavaOne 2005年會上就會宣布了，而且是這周。
