Re: Eclipse Vs. NetBeans
It's kind of a holy war in IDEs. The truth is, either will work.

NetBeans is the best supported. To get the SunSpotFRCSKD in Eclipse, you have to first unpack it as a NetBeans Module, and then copy the JAR files to your Eclipse project.

At our school, the AP Computer Science class uses Eclipse, and our mentors are most comfortable in Eclipse, so that's what we use. It deploys fine.

If you are completely new, NetBeans seems like the way to go because of the support.
