Hello Sergio, I think you are from brazil like me, your name is very common for me ;)
But I need to speak in english to other people fix my mistakes about the comparison that I'll do rigth now.
I choose NetBeans because it's really complete since installation, I don't need to install hundreds of plugins to do it do what I need.
I don't have anger of eclipse, and soon I'll need to use it too, but if you wanna simplicity, NetBeans is the most intuitive plataform.
Think as, Eclipse without plugin is just like a notepad that highlight you source code.
A big number of companies use Eclise as default IDE because I think it's more easy to write plugins to it than NetBeans.

Hope this helps your decision

Hi,
I'm in needing of some help to choose between Netbeans platform and
Eclipse RCP. I'll be creating an application based on one of these
platforms, though I'm inclined to choose netbeans over eclipse I need
to document and justify my choice with technical arguments that I just
don't have nor can find.
The application is for the final year's project that I, as a computer
science student, have to make.

My main problem is that I can't find any comparison articles or
discussion about both platforms that will help me justify my choice,
every time I search for something on google, it just returns a bunch
of flame wars on the use of one IDE over the other, the only article I
found that I thought it could help me is not in English and I can't
find a way to translate it.

Any thoughts and insights about the use of both platforms will help as
I don't have the time to lean to use both of them and then decide.
