Both are tools for visually designing reports and both come from the same vendor.
Why is Jaspersoft pushing two similar technologies?
In the FAQ of http://www.jaspersoft.com:
Why is Jaspersoft Doing this?
For years our community of developers asked us to support the Eclipse
platform due to its popularity and capabilities. This feedback made
the decision to build an Eclipse-based report designer easy.
Jaspersoft users will benefit from the rich capabilities of the
Eclipse platform and Eclipse developers will benefit from a complete
open source BI stack to build and deploy their reports. We also aim to
create a report design environment that is both powerful and intuitive
so that it appeals to both the advanced and the first-time report
developer.
So I think this is simply a fork with the goal to provide the designer as an eclipse based application.
Plus they also provide the designer as a plugin version for Eclipse:
Which Eclipse releases does Jaspersoft Studio work with?
The plugin version of Jaspersoft Studio can be installed on Eclipse
IDE 3.5 or later. The compatible Eclipse releases are Indigo, Helios
and Galileo.
Anyway I could not download the Jaspersoft Studio to give it a try because the download page does currently not exist.

I am little bit new in field of eclipse and I am trying to write a plugin for eclipse
which can provide a main menu with one sub menu NVIDIA VISUAL PROFILER.After clicking
on which it should profile my application. Can anybody suggest some good tutorial or
any such type of PLUGIN which can give me some idea.
As #BenC mentioned, Nsight Eclipse Edition has complete Visual Profiler integrated as a part of the whole IDE experience.
NVIDIA tools team does not provide Visual Profiler as a standalone component that can be integrated in Eclipse products. All that can be done with current Visual Profiler is calling it from the command line (e.g. by using java.lang.ProcessBuilder). You do not even need to create a plugin for this as you may leverage existing "External Tools" facilities.
Please let us know more about specific requirements you have for integrating Visual Profiler in your Eclipse workbench.

I just downloaded a demo of Zend Studio and it looks remarkably like Eclipse. I was wondering if they were built on top of the same libraries or if the developers just stole the look and feel to make it more user friendly on developers familiar with Eclipse.
If they are built off the same libraries or framework, which ones? I ask cause I'm interested if their is an IDE builder. A way to quickly create your own IDEs for instance. Thanks
Zend Studio is built off of Eclipse, that's why it looks similar. From the Zend Studio website:
Zend Studio is the most up-to-date PHP
IDE that supports the latest
technologies such as PHP 5.3, Zend
Framework, and the latest Eclipse
Platform (Helios) ensuring your
environment is always up to date with
the latest advancements. You can also
use Zend Studio to easily build rich
PHP-based Ajax applications thanks to
extensive JavaScript support.
You can find a list of other Eclipse-based software on Wikipedia.

What IDE has better support for groovy, Netbeans or Eclipse?
Last additions to Eclipse integration with Groovy added almost everything needed to the old plugin (which lacked some features) so my points go to Eclipse.
Now the plugin is quite mature and updated very often (3 days ago last update). Key features taken from here:
Syntax highlighting
Type inferencing
Compile and run Groovy classes and scripts in Eclipse
Outline view for Groovy files
Auto-completion
Refactoring
Source code formatting
Basic debug support
Short answer
Eclipse
Longer answer
The Groovy-Eclipse plugin used to be unspeakably awful, but it has improved out of all recognition since version 2.X. If you want Grails (rather than just Groovy) support, the simplest option is to install the SpringSource Tool Suite (STS), which supports Groovy, Grails and lots of other products under the Spring portfolio.

I've seen that most of the documentation in the Liferay Wiki (concerning Eclipse plugins and the like) refers to Liferay version 4.x. Are there up-to-date resources for developing Liferay portlets with eclipse (3.5)?
There is a new top-level project at Liferay that is called Liferay IDE which is the official set of eclipse plugins for Liferay. Here is the installation guide and getting started tutorial.
Found one here that looks promising:
http://www.jroller.com/holy/entry/developing_portlets_for_liferay_in
We are starting to use this as a reference. It seems pretty good to get going.
http://www.amazon.com/Liferay-Portal-5-2-Systems-Development/dp/1847194702/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266607717&sr=8-1
The other thing to look at are the two (at least I found) Maven plug ins for Eclipse/Liferay.
One comes from Liferay and the other a community.
http://github.com/azzazzel/liferay-maven-sdk and this is a good ref of it:
http://github.com/azzazzel/liferay-maven-sdk
From Liferay: http://www.liferay.com/web/mika.koivisto/blog/-/blogs/liferay-maven-sdk
Both are good and help with the busting out of project archetypes for Liferay.
Check Liferay IDE, which supports development for all latest Liferay Portals. Liferay IDE is based on eclipse and is maintained by Liferay itself.

How does the IDEA Community Edition compare with Eclipse?
IDEA is a far better IDE than Eclipse (general opinion by people that use IDEA).
On a feature point of view, everything that IDEA CE can also been done by Eclipse. However,
IDEA is a commercial product, which limits its adoption. Thanks to the Community Edition, you can test this IDE for free, in order to develop JavaSE applications (or Scala or Groovy). For an enterprise, this is quite limited, as you will not be able to develop J2EE applications.
My conclusion is that IDEA CE is only a tool that allows you to test and understand the philosophy of this IDE. If you are convinced by IDEA, then you will really have to choose between the Ultimate Edition, which will let develop any kind of applications, or stay with Eclipse.
The best, straight answer to this, is to look at the feature matrix of which features are still left in Ultimate-Edition. Eclipse probably has support for all of these things, although the quality of the integrations can always be an issue.
Why IDEA:
detects unused public fields and methods
easy way to run or debug only one test method (you don't need to modify configuration)
faster code coverage report generation (at least for EMMA)
understand difference between source and test source
easier way to manage libs - just include lib dir (in eclipse you have to specify all jars explicitly), so you don't have to update it manually every time when new jar was included
