NetBeans and J2ME Polish get accolades
In 2006 Java Technology Winners and Losers Steve Anglin at O'Reilly lists both the good and the bad from 2006.
Focusing on tools for mobile application development:
Quote: NetBeans wins over Eclipse this year, because NetBeans has made significant progress and growth relative to Eclipse. A year or so ago, NetBeans seemed dead and buried. Eclipse is still the market share leader, but has lost momentum to NetBeans and perhaps other IDEs out there, imo.
What more can I say :)...
J2ME Polish is mentioned as an innovative/interesting product. I'm eagerly awaiting version 2.0. The beta version is not entirely trustworthy.
More about what people think of NetBeans 5.5:
NetBeans Takes The Gold
