I am an Eclipse user. I am going to be using Glassfish on a project. Is the Glassfish IDE integration substantially better in NetBeans (or some other), or is the integration the same as Eclipse?
+1
A:
I can't compare it to eclipse because I never tried it in eclipse but I can cast my vote for Netbeans integration. I've been using it for a while with Netbeans and I am very satisfied with the result.

with the full set of JavaEE plugins in Eclipse, it's trivial to control/deploy to glassfish. Grab the JavaEE version of Eclipse and follow the wizard for creating a new enterprise application.
Generally speaking, unless you're debugging the only intergration you really need is: start, stop, deploy. You can make almost any IDE/script/buildfile do that. Stick with the IDE you're most productive in.

Glassfish IDE integration is better with NetBeans.
The plugin for Eclipse isn't quite ready for primetime.

My personal experience is that Eclipse with the Java EE extensions are more than sufficient for development, and deployment of JAX-WS apps are faster in Eclipse than with Netbeans.
The Glassfish plugin has forms for editing configuration for things as nuanced as WSIT WS-Security and WS-AtomicTransaction. This speeds configuration. However, I've found that deploying a JAX-WS app performs ws-import more times than necessary, which doubles deployment time.
