What IDE do you all use?

graukatz Jul 10, 2002 2:30 PM

I've been using Sun's Forte for "plain" Java, but noticed that they offer something special for EJB writers for only $2K. Does anybody think this is worth it? Is there something else that does almost as well?

Thanks!

People use Eclipse which is free and getting rave reviews. I use Intellij which costs, but way less than 2K.

IDEA is, in my opinion, the only Java IDE worth using

I've been using Eclipse and I love it. It's got plugins for ant, junit, jboss, etc. I downloaded the examples from the jboss docs page, imported it into eclipse and in fifteen minutes I was starting and stopping jboss from the ide, as well as building, deploying, etc. Eclipse is pretty speedy, too. Much faster than Netbeans/Forte.

I've been using Netbeans for quite a while now. Very happy with it so far. I did check out Eclipse too but it seemed to have a steeper learning curve and I didn't have time to give it the attention it deserved.

I'd certainly recommend NetBeans though.

I've searched high and low, but only seem to find plugins for Eclipse 2.0 that are still being developed. Which plugins do I need to be able to develop EJBs with relative ease, and to test them on JBoss from within the IDE (if possible)?

I am using Eclipse 2.0 and Forte 4EA CE. They both are nice, I think Eclipse is a little lighter on the rsource and faster.
