    IDEs based on Eclipse

    pradeeppillai

      Does anybody know the difference between "JBoss eclipse IDE" and "EasyEclipse Server Java" (http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=131065&filename=easyeclipse-server-java-1.2.1.exe)? Which one is good for Struts and EJB? I highly appreciate any advice. We are trying to evaluate an IDE and JBoss.
      Thanks in advance.

          Hello..

          Easy Eclipse is a project that brings together many different open source plugins to create a fully-featured Web/Java IDE. Easy Eclipse actually incorporates JBossIDE as part of it's distribution. If you are using Easy Eclipse for your JBoss work, you would be using our tools.

          JBossIDE by itself is a suite of tools specifically targetted at projects hosted and managed by JBoss. Specifically projects such as JBossAS, Hibernate, JBossAOP, JBossCache, JBossWeb, etc..

            Hi: I am one of the dev on EasyEclipse.
            EasyEclipse is a distro, pretty much like you have a linux distro. As such it does not creates much in terms of new code, but instead the focus is on plugins assembly and testing.
            You can see a list of plugins in the Serv er java distro here [http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/distributions/server-java.html]

            In contrast, JBossIDE is a suite of original plugins (ie with real code :-) ) to provide ttoling for Jboss projects.

              Okay. Which is good for Struts and EJB? If my server is JBoss, which IDE is good for rapid developemnt and deployment. We use WebSphere. But we are planning to evaluate JBoss to move into JBoss. I appreciate all the help.
              Thanks.
