I use Eclipse for general Java programming, however
I use Netbeans for Java website programming. I found that Netbeans out
of the box have everything you need to efficiently write / debug
servlets / JSP - it has formats / intellisense for JSP (or HTML forms or
generally HTML tags in JSP), can directly go from JSP to generated
servlet (rarely used by me), integrated out of the box with Tomcat, auto
generates configuration files, deploys, integrated with CVS, auto starts
Tomcat and allows breakpoints in JSP or servlets. I have never seen
anything like that with other tools.
I never was able to get all this in Eclipse, through I tried little bit
with Eclipse Tomcat plugins.

I do all of that in Eclipse, with the exception of JSP directly to
generated servlet (it may be able to do it, but I've never even looked
to see). It took an hour or so of configuration, and I already had
Tomcat installed, so it was just a matter of setting up a server item.
I don't use it with CVS, but I know lots of people do.

My son uses Eclipse for his C programming class, and World Of Warcraft
script programming as well.

When I was first getting into java programming, I looked at both
Netbeans and Eclipse, and found Netbeans a bit more intuitive, but liked
the fact that I could use eclipse for more than just java enough that I
went that route. They're both very good IDE's, so it's just a matter of
what you need to be able to do, and what you personally like.
