netBeans or eclipse for j2me development?

[zulo]

hi

Im going to start develop a j2me game soon and I have been using eclipse for a long time but not for j2me programming.
I heard about netBeans but havent tried it yet, what do you guys think, is netBeans more suitable for j2me programming? Is netbeans very different from eclipse?

I don't think any one of those has significant advantages over the other. If you are already familiar with Eclipse I suggest you stick with it, just get the EclipseME plugin for mobile development.

I'd recommend NetBeans, especially if you are starting with J2ME - look at Quick Start guide or flash demos it may help you to decide:
