After around 2 months I like to tell you, that I've invested even more 
energy in the NetBeans project.

I was disapointed from Eclipse.

And this was partly caused due to the much more liberal, open and 
independent looking NetBeans Project.

But:

NetBeans is a _shame_ for the whole java-community:

Sun Microsystems Employees apply *censorship* on the NetBeans forums 
[either whilst abusing their power or on behalf of their 
Managers/Executives]:

The Eclipse Foundation and its Community will hopefully never make the 
same mistakes.

Once more, thank you for your support.
