Hi Ganesh.
Eclipse is the best one when comparing to JB &NB,
Eclipse IDE is the IDE used by the many software companies.
so you can go ahead with Eclipse.

On any dedicated Java forum you will find this question asked about once a week. And every time only one real answer comes from it.
Try 'em all and see which works for you.
Also it is normally recomemended that you don't use an IDE until you are happy working without one, and just use a syntax hightlighting editor and the command line.

it is not about being "hard core", to be a good developer you need to know how to automate[1] things. This means you NEED to know how things work outside your choosen IDE. This is one of the main reasons I recomemend that people new to development start without a full blown IDE and instead use a syntax highlighting editor and the command line.
In the syntax highlighting editor department I quite like Notepad++ and Emacs. Command line wise I'd go with Cygwin, but the windows command prompt is fine too.

ECLIPSE, NET BEAN are the free and best IDE for Java. JBuilder is also good one but need to pay for that. But always try for the free one as the first two are widely used and best one.
