<venividi> hooray for emacs and jdee. *much* easier, faster, and more resource friendly than eclipse.
<venividi> (that's *right* folks, i've found something where emacs is *more*
resource friendly than the competitor...)
Last week I made my first serious attempt at using Eclipse to earn a living. I confess however that I would never have stooped to this if I had reasonable access to the filesystem of the development server.
It's not too bad as IDEs go, although it's still slightly behind where Cafe and Visual J++ were five years ago. (My current client is IBM, so my chances of being able to use IntelliJ are basically zero.)
Tomcat 5, when coupled with Eclipse and the Sysdeo plugin, has also finally reached a tolerable modicum of usability, although it's documented even more poorly than was version 4.
Emacs is fine for Java apps that are intended to be shell-launched, but I swear to God I would go postal on somebody if I had to configure Tomcat manually.
