Since i read that the early release of JDK7 was available for developers to play with i decided to have a look. About 5 minutes later after trying to play with some of the project coin fea开发者_StackOverflow中文版tures i realised that Eclipse does not support it yet.

So my question is what is the best way to start playing with JDK7? I assume that the good folk at Oracle and elsewhere are using an IDE to develope and test the new features or is is back to vi? Does netbeans provide support?

I believe the latest netbeans beta has support for JDK7 features. See here

Yes, Netbeans beta is your answer.Netbeans 7 (beta 2 I think) has jdk7 support.

Switch statement for strings! Can't wait!

Eclipse 3.7.2 support JDK7. I have used it for a while.

IntelliJ IDEA supports Java 7. (and 8 !? whatever that is)

And it is the best IDE.
