We have a Java EE 6 web application which is fully mavenized, and we use the Maven "war overlay" facility to add customer specific files, and which currently runs in Glassfish 3.1.

We have traditionally used Eclipse for development, but I have found that the combination of Maven processing and War deployments may not be optimal in terms of deployment times, and that the mavenization allows us to use any IDE with good Maven support.

Therefore is Eclipse the best bet for our particular scenario (maven war overlays -> glassfish, and debugging it) or is e.g. Netbeans or IntelliJ better?

Please, back opinions with actual experiences, thanks.
