Blackberry Widget development - VS.NET or Eclipse?

Does anyone have any recommendations on what development environment should be used for the new Blackberry Widget development?

The reason that i'm asking is that i currently use the Java Plugin for Eclipse rather than the Visual Studio RAD plugin because the Visual Studio plugin doesn't give you access to most of the API functionality.

Is this the case with the widgets plugin or will you be a开发者_StackOverflow中文版ble to access everything from the VS.NET plugin that you can with the Eclipse plugin?

DISCLAIMER: I haven't done any widget development for the BB.

BUT

When doing some research on BB development I found that RIM has provided a 'End of Life' notice for the Visual Studio plugin/runtime.

The BB link is:

EOL Notice

So by default you are left with Java.
