• Database Support :
•has JDBC driver support – but it takes some serious time to
configure the connection.
• Startup time :
•It’s takes a little time to start comparing with netbeans
•Auto-Complete :
•Automatically add the imports you need. This saves one
from the work of importing it manually
Performance:
It starts faster, it reacts faster and it takes up way less
memory.
Plugins :
Eclipse is pluggable
