What's the best IDE for me to start with?

807600Oct 6 2007 — edited Oct 9 2007
Hello,

I've been a .Net programmer for 4 years now but I haven't used it at all in 2007 because I went back to school to study something else. Now I want to go back to programming but this time with java. I intend to use what's left of the year to get my feet wet with this side of the world and I was wondering if I could get some advice on where to start.

I've always used VS.NET and C#. Where do you people think I should start? Should I go with the NetBeans IDE, Eclipse or maybe another option? I used to work with ASP.NET so I would like to start with whatever is most similar to that.

Thank you.
