Let&#8217;s start with the caveats:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The survey is based only on&nbsp;subscribers to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sdtimes.com\" target=\"_blank\">SD Times<\/a>.\n<li>Out of 19,623 subscribers invited to take part, only 758 (3.9%) completed the questionnaire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m not surprised: I get bombarded with requests to take part in surveys, and rarely do so. Even so the results are&nbsp;interesting, and the year-on-year comparisons may be indicative of trends.<\/p>\n<p>On to the results (note that percentages are non-exclusive so sum to more than 100):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eclipse increased its usage slightly to 69.6%; NetBeans climbed to 2nd place with 23.3% (up from 17.9%).\n<li>Oracle&#8217;s JDeveloper is up from 15% to 19%.\n<li>IBM RAD has a decent showing, up from 10.8% to 19.5%, not far behind its WSAD at 22.1%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The survey also covers app servers. Here, all the shares are down, implying more diverse usage than last year. WebSphere is first with 36.9%, then JBoss with 32 %, then BEA WebLogic at 23.7%. Oracle and Sun are 4th and 5th.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, nothing dramatic to report, though the gain for NetBeans shows that Sun&#8217;s investment in this IDE is having some success.<\/p>\n<p>CodeGear&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.codegear.com\/products\/jbuilder\" target=\"_blank\">JBuilder<\/a> doesn&#8217;t feature in the top 5, nor does the excellent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jetbrains.com\/idea\/\" target=\"_blank\">IntelliJ IDEA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"wlWriterSmartContent\" id=\"0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:81fa3832-a4b7-407f-88f8-eb1762ccf393\" contenteditable=\"false\" style=\"padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px\">Technorati tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/eclipse\" rel=\"tag\">eclipse<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/netbeans\" rel=\"tag\">netbeans<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/oracle\" rel=\"tag\">oracle<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/ibm\" rel=\"tag\">ibm<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/jdeveloper\" rel=\"tag\">jdeveloper<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/websphere\" rel=\"tag\">websphere<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/jbos\" rel=\"tag\">jbos<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/java\" rel=\"tag\">java<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/ides\" rel=\"tag\">ides<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BZ Research has released its latest survey of Java tools.
