I mostly use Eclipse but have mentionned Netbeans on my cv. Are there any good concise and up-to-date tutorials apart from the official ones that could bring me up to speed on how to use the IDE efficiently (shortcuts, debugging, views ...)? This excludes programming tutorials as I don't really need them unless there's a special manipulation involved.
Please take a look at this cheatsheet and this cheatsheet
From within NetBeans, go to Help -> Keyboard shortcuts card to see all the main shortcuts.
In the same menu, you have a link to the Help, which contains good explanation for how to use the debugger.
There's also the online help link, with links to many tutorials, including video ones.
Also, most of the content of Pro NetBeans IDE 6 can be viewed online in Google Books.
It might be a good idea to specify that your question relates to the Netbeans IDE, as opposed to the Netbeans Platform. The latter is the rich client platform on which the IDE is built (analogous to Eclipse RCP).
The official NetBeans page really is the best place to find NetBeans information; I found it the most helpful when I was learning the platform/ide. Aside from that, however, there are a lot of great articles about Netbeans and it's ecosystem in the NetBeans Zone at Dzone.

First time using eclipse today...and I really don't like it. What are some other alternatives that are cleaner without a million buttons and multiple windows like eclipse has?
Eclipse is so clunky and there are way too may options and buttons for myself. Does anyone understand my problem and have a suggestion for another IDE I could use? I don't understand how people can use eclipse and why it needs to be this cluttered. Thanks for the help!
There are alternatives like netbeans etc.,
If you don't want so many buttons may be notepad, Notepad++ (or) EditPlus etc., may help you, Note that these tools don't give you auto suggestions and other features.
Eclipse isn't all that bad once you get used to it. It's not all that cluttered and it implements a great deal of customization.
You could try NetBeans, but that's like jumping out of the frying pan straight into the fire.
Have you looked at IntelliJ?
1. One of the best feature which i liked is the Perspective options.... Like Java, DDMS,and many more...
2. Eclipse has some cool options, ya are in-fact in other IDE too, but i think its worth a mention...
To format the code: ctrl + shift + f
To Import the packages: ctrl + shift + o
etc................
3. Almost every 3rd partly open tools have plugins for Eclipse.... Audrino also has plugin for Eclipse..thats awesome....
Other IDE's are NetBeans, BlueJ, JCreator, InteliIDEA, Borland JBuilder, Dr. Java, and your more simple notepad and notepad++

I am a new to IntelliJ Idea from Jetbrains and the installer asks me various questions at first launch. Though i managed Subversion/Version control system settings in first window other seem alien to me. Can i have a experienced hand at completing other steps. I am used to visual studio and .net and C#. But Java for first time, hence such a subjective question, mostly i want to develop Google data, android , java webapps[so database comes along], console application[does java have one??] couple of screenshots from installation
Screen2
Screen 3
Screen 4
I did manage find out what other's were but these bother me. I haven't completed the steps yet waiting for answers to complete and finish the installation
You always have the option to add anything you wish later on (look for the "wrench" button on the menu bar).
I don't use all the Java EE app server options, because I know I'm not likely to use WebSphere and some of the others.
I use Git and Subversion for source code management, so those are enough for me.
Given what you want to do with the IDE, I'd recommend getting at least the following:
GWT, GAE, Hibernate, SQL, and whatever App servers you plan on using for deployment. Also, you can always add those plugins later if and when needed. I've noticed that overloading the IDE with lots of plugins slows IDEA down quite a bit so be selective.

What is the preferred free open source project management and SCM tool combination for working on multiple java based projects?
This must be something that has been answered on here before but i couldnt find a good one.
Im working with a couple people on two different proof-of-concept web app projects and have been doing everything together so far. We are about to the point where we would like to utilize some source control code management software as well as a compatable project management tool. We are considering Redmine with SVN, would like to know what the preferences of some of you guys out there were before we were forced to do a bunch of analytical comparisons.
Anyway, this seems like the type of questions that must have been ask before, so if someone could add their thoughts or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!!
PS: these projects will ultimately be ported to first android then iphone, if that carries any weight with your preferences

We are using Atlassian suite (Confluence/JIRA + JIRA Studio) and are quite happy about it. See www.atlassian.com (no affiliation, just like the product).
svn is the easyest to use and git is very powerfull
I am currently using Trac + Git back-end for a number of projects.
You definitely want something that handles refactoring better than SVN for Java. In SVN, it is a pain to, say, change the package for a class; Git will auto-detect the change.

It doesn't have to be full blown of course, and console output only would be enough. I'd like it to be able to work on some program parts on any PC which has internet connection.
I'm really looking for a lightweight IDE I can also use for quick tests
You can use ideone.com - it serves a simple java (and many more languges) compiler and executions environment.
http://cloud-ide.com is probably your best option for Java development.
Check http://www.cloud-ide.com indeed
With Java Debug Online capabilities as viewable in that video http://vimeo.com/40872612
I've been working on my own online java editor. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Ceclipse is an online Java IDE which supports Firefox and Chrome.
They say that Eclipse might provide that in their next version.
[update - 2016]
Eclipse cloud IDE avaiable at http://www.eclipse.org/che/
Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but Bespin is an online editor that looks interesting...
Try this http://www.innovation.ch/java/java_compile.html
There is an online editor for any FTP server. It's tageted to PHP (bacause it's the common way to work with PHP), but you can use it for java too.

I want to get my feet wet with Spring/Hibernate. But I think I move along faster and am more motivated if I am working with code rather than just reading a book chapter by chapter.
Does anyone have any good ideas for a home project to work on to learn these technologies? Any exercises that you might have worked on and thought useful?
Or perhaps you know of a book/tutorial that is based on a single project and walks you through it?
AppFuse is a Spring & Hibernate app designed to be used as skeleton for new projects. Install it, run maven, you have a working project you can study, inspect, debug, modify or add to as you wish. I've worked on a couple of enterprise apps that started as AppFuse.
I hope you would have some existing applications, previously done with different tech and framework. The best is to implement those with Hibernate and Spring.
I suggest using Appfuse, too, as tpdi does. A couple of details:
Use "Spring MVC Basic" project;
start with the Quickstart, and stick to it;
when you're confident enough, go deeper with each technology / layer.
You will find yourself digging in documentation, but with an already working project. Appfuse ha very few "special" classes & utilities, once you master it you can anytime start from scratch... but it's easier with it ;)
You need something simple but not trivial and complex but not complicated.
Try making a timetabling system or calendar
