Best IDE ?

I'm a middle level programmer and I want to know that is the best IDE, so far I've been using Sun One Studio.
Is there something better for DB and networking development ?

Thanks, PowerNewbie. I appreciate that you're able to
see the humor in that statement, even though I wasn't
really joking. That shows tremendous insight and a
general sense of goodwill and cheer on your part.
Thanks again for making the Forums a more pleasant
place to visit. You're doing a great job - keep up the
good work.Anyone wanna buy me a new sarcasm alarm, mine just overloaded and blew up.

Best IDE & Platform Configuration? What do you think?

What do you think the best IDE is out there? I want to compile and create applications as well as servlets and beans, but my focus would be on the beans, servlets, jsp, etc, the web stuff. Once I have the IDE for that, what is the best configuration for developing under that environment. For example I would like to use the the JavaMail API as well, and that is available for the J2EE. So I can install both the J2SE and J2EE SDK's right? Should I accept their default installation directories? Is it possible to move files, the .jar files for example over the to a single directory for centralization? Help, trying to get an understaning how to create a nice development environment. Simple, efficient, etc.
Thanks so much!!

I personally think Eclipse is outstanding. I used JBuilder for a while, but it insisted on formatting code the JBuilder way. Eclipse also has refactoring, which is a major bonus. Moving classes is now a few clicks instead of performing a search-replace on all your files. There are UML and dozens of other types of plug-in.
As far as setting-up your environment, I normally duplicate a web application's deployment. So, the external JAR's I need are in WEB-INF/lib. The IDE should take care of classpath issues, if you perform the initial project set-up properly. I would also learn Jakarta's Ant. It makes deployment a lot easier, at the expense of some up-front development.

Hi,
I am prepearing a recommendation for our company's standard Java development
environment. I would appriciate any comment you guys might have on the best
IDE that supports J2EE and EJB and Servlet development that integrates with
WebLogic. I guess the best are Visual Age or Visual Cafe, anybody have any
experince/comment on any of those ?
Thanks

I'm looking for the best IDE to program in C#

I am an entry level programmer and I am looking for the best IDE to practice programming in C#. What are the best and easier IDEs to work with that work on a MacBook?
Also, any suggestions on sites, books, etc that could help me learn the language better?

"If you plan on writing apps for Windows, get a Windows-based computer."
A MacBook Pro running ML is the best lapstop computer for running Windows according to
this: http://www.eweek.com/apple/apple-makes-the-best-windows-laptop-soluto/
The OP already has the best hardware for developing Windows applications.

Best IDE for developing Applets,Servlets,JSP

Hi,
I'm looking for a little bit of advise. I have been developing prototypes using Apache Tomcat. Now I need to go into a full development phase, and I need an IDE to help speedup my work, especially when it comes to debugging applets and servlets. So the following are my questions:
1. What is the best IDE to use in conjunction with Apache Tomcat? Does JBuilder, for example, fit this bill?
2. Outside of Apache, I believe there is for example IBM's Websphere, which includes an IDE and a Servlet/JSP container. Which is the best of these packages?
Thank you for your help.

Best IDE for a new team (Help)

We are embarking on a brand new project with new team (startup). This application is JSP/Servlet and most probably J2EE (dont know yet)
Others (CSS, AJAX, JScript, JDBC etc usual)
Can you please suggest me what is the best IDE if we have to
start fresh.
I have the following in mind: NetBeans 5.0, Sun Studio Enterprise 8 (or wait for 8.1) and Eclipse. (or) please suggest another which you find excellent.
Thanks

Netbeans is probably the best for JavaEE development.

The best IDE to swing

What is the best API to swing?

Mexman wrote:
What is the best API to swing?1) It is Swing, not swing.
2) If you need to ask that question, I would say the best approach is "brain + Swing tutorial". Trying to code Swing GUIs in an IDE before you understand how layouts and Swing works, will get you into a whole heap of trouble that you are unable to resolve, and produce code that others will not be willing to wade through.
3) The 'best' IDE, as already mentioned, is entirely subjective. Netbeans and Eclipse are two IDEs often recommended, with JCreator probably coming in 3rd (a long way behind the other two). Or to be more accurate, those IDEs are the most mentioned in my perception across various public forums. The first two are probably often used simply because they are free. ;)

Best IDE for JSP,Servlet ?

Whis is the best IDE to code JSP and Servlets, i hope it includes a Debugger too.
rc

Hai shinoy
YES, thats really true. but its not like NetBean if you see Eclipse plutin its very small.
if you download Eclipse and without adding any plut-ins and starting it this time is very much faster than NetBean b'cos Netbean is using Modules. i tryed both i prefer Eclipse is good eventhouth the Visual AWT/Swint is not available default in Eclipse we can add it.
i mostly prefer Eclipse more that JDeveloper,NetBean,JCreator,Editplus etc...
just my knowledge is consern.

WARNING: Questions such as these can be akin to asking what is the onetrue
religion at a UN Assembly.
I have been desparately trying (for 4 months) to properly review four IDEs
in the hopes of finding something to beat Emacs (or Visual SlickEdit), a
command-line, and a third-party profiler/debugger (like JProbe). I have
and I've stopped. Here's why:
(1) When I started WebGain 4.0 didn't exist. Was I to suddenly trust a
buggy IDE (VisualCafe) being attached to what may or may not be a well
integrated suite of tools. I know StructureBuilder rocks, but how wouldit
work within these confines? My evaluation lasted two days. I counted the
number of crashes and where. I timed how long VC could stay open on my
machine (PIII 866/512MB). Final result? StructureBuilder (not an IDE,but
a class wizard that really does kick butt), over VisualAge, JBuilder,
Forte' and WebGain, offered the best bang for my buck in terms of
developing EJBs. Did we get it? No, but the reasons are not technical.
We already had Together/J to create class templates and didn't want to
spend $1000 per seat for a program that consolodates file templates and
command-line programs.
(2) Which brings me to cost. $3k (the usual street price for the
"enterprise" IDEs) is just too much. I told my company that I'd rather
have everyone handed a $3k bonus than to be saddled with an IDE (I'll
explain later). Java 2 SE and EE and all the libraries are free.
Furthermore, WebLogic wants you to use their compilation of the EE
libraries. Why should I pay $3k just to be able to compile theseprograms?
Only JBuilder and Forte allow you to compile EE programs, and only by
adding the libs yourself. VisualAge Pro won't let you import the library
and Cafe Pro balks as well. WebLogic has a plug-in for VAJ which allows
Pro, at $150 a good deal, to compile EE but the plug-in has its ownissues.
This, of course, does not address the reality of what you want, and thatis
wizards to create these special classes.
(3) Which brings me to code generation. Has anyone analyzed Visual Cafe's
generated code? It's pathetic. Monolithic, wasteful and very touchy.Any
manual adjustment may or may not break the IDE's interpretation of the
logic. JBuilder is no better. Forte' usually crashes before I get tocode
generation. Visual Age generates some dynamite (and complex) code.
(4) Which brings me to VisualAge. I think a lot of developers would agree
with me that if VisualAge had a "use repository/file system" toggle it
would be the hands-down, most kick-ass IDE in the land. It's a current
"change request" at IBM, but no promises have been made, that I know of.
The debugger is hands down the best of the big 4, it's visual composer is
easy to use, visualizes beans and components very well (considering the
limitations Java's AWT places on visual coding), and generates the best
component initializing code. If it wasn't for the repository. For the
unitialized, the repository is IBM's way of convincing (strongarming)
developers into having version control and on-the-fly code compilation.If
you begin and end your project in VisualAge and everything VAJ gives youis
fine, then VAJ is the way to go. However, if you already have a corporate
version control system (please tell me you do), you're at a loss as to how
to integrate with it. I worked at IBM and was told to use VisualAge. I
replied "How can it interface CMVC (IBM's workflow and VCS, which rules,
btw)?" The reply "Uh...we didn't think of that. Keep using Emacs". That
was 1997. Little has changed, apparently. That little is IBM'senterprise
repository, a way to let an entire group of developers have VAJ's
repository features across a network. Course, it's only available on the
enterprise version, don't pass go, cough up the $3k/seat. Oh, if you want
to not use the repository or need to have actual file system files (the
repository is one big file) you have to import and export your source
regularly. Not fun.
(5) Which brings me to version control. None of the offerings connect to
version control very well. That's not their fault. On Solaris, there is
no "scc" (windows' universal source control API, like ODBC cept forversion
control) so you go back to command line world. The IDE makers didn'tspend
a lot of time considering non-SCC solutions so you're pretty much screwed
on non-Wintel platforms. SCC? It sucks. It relies on the VCS vendor's
dlls. PVCS' SCC interface is buggy, slow and hard to use. Visual Source
Safe? I refuse to use it to manage source code, although it has thesecond
best SCC interface. The first? Perforce's. Course, it mimmicks RCS/CVS.
Concurrent version control has seem to have lost favor with people (BSD
uses it, you should too) and its concept is not reflected in the SCC
interfaces built on IDEs. Bottom line? SlickEdit + Perforce or Emacs +
CVS (or CMVC, a lisp module exists within IBM) is still the best
"integrated version control" development platform with propers given to
VisualAge and its repository for an alternative solution with no prior VCS
in place.
Trying to tell a group of eclectic and highly motivated (and paid) people
to settle on one development environment is very hard. Properly done, you
must settle on an IDE, have everyone trained (I can't stress thatenough.
Handing a hammer to a monkey usually results in broken skulls) in it and
use it religiously. For small startups like mine or fixed-budgetprojects,
this is just not feasible and thus we settled on a development environment
rather than an IDE.
Was that a long (it could be thorough) enough answer?

Best IDE and how-to create HTML for a swing Applet

Can you help me out? I've been using, and teaching with the old Symantec VisualCafe product from long, long, ago. It still works fine & I can even use it to build JFC/Swing Applets etc. But a few things have occurred. For one, a way back, Symantec sold VisualCafe to WEBGAIN - who now has gone out of business and sold it to a company called TOGETHERSOFT - who doesn't support it any longer.
This isn't really a big deal to me, because I can still build and deploy applets that are pre-swing easily enough. (as can my students)
HOWEVER... I'd like to be running with the LATEST Java (I think it's 1.4.01) and I'd LIKE to use whatever is the best development environment I can use - especially one I can recommend to my students. Do you know what that should be?
What's more, I'd still like to take some JFC/Swing created applets (even if compiled with the older VisualCafe IDE) and generate the HTML to allow 1.4 enabled browsers to run them (this is the case for the schools versions of Explorer and Netscape). Now, the HTML I have INSTALLED for the students used the HTML converter - back in 1.2 to produce the HTML at the bottom of this. This code no longer works now with current browsers. Do you know HOW one makes a jfc/swing compiled applet run on the latest browsers?
Any help or direction you can give would be appreciated.
thanks,
Bobby Berns

Bobby,
It's been a while since I've used the HTML Converter, but if I had to guess I'd say you need a newer version than what you have. Also, doesn't the converter allow you to choose which JDK you want to use (in which case you could select 1.4)? Again it's been a while so bear with me. Another option would be to put all the Swing classes into a .jar file (typically called swingall.jar) on your server and include that file as an attribute in your applet tag like this:
<APPLET CODE="yourApplet.class" ARCHIVE="swingall.jar">
This way you don't have to use the Java Plug-in, however the initial download time of the .jar file can be significant.
As for an IDE, I've always been happy using a text editor like UltraEdit. However, I've heard good things about Forte, and hey, it's free!
Regarding Christina's post, that solution will only work if the Applet does not use Swing components (and Bobby specifically said it does). By using the <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags, rather than the <APPLET> tag, you force the browser to use the Java Plug-in (rather than the browser's default JVM).
Hope that helps,

XSLT best IDE

Halo,
I'm seeking a best XSLT IDE...can anybody recommend one?
I was using Alvota product which is "XML Spy" and "XML Stylevision" design PDF report interface all the while but this tool having some limitation where you can't have coding level of the look and feel features in the "XML stylevision".
Which means, frm the "XML stylevision" you are only allow to design from the provided drag&drop GUI interface but not from the coding level. You only able to "view" the xsl code if you click on the "XSL-FO" tab bar.
In order to modify the xsl file, i need to open XML SPY but this tool does not allow me to design in the drag&drop GUI interface.
pls help if you got any IDE tools able to overcome this issue. I've tried out stylus studio where it offer what i wanted but it lacks of design features like page PDF layout size, header, footer, image control from the drag&drop interface layer. if you got any better ide to recommend, pls post here
, emmm..perhaps this is not the right place to ask XSLT...
btw, i have posted a mail to Alvota about this but i dun expect their response so soon. cheers

I really like Oxygen. It is implemented in Java, works very nicely stand-alone or as an Eclipse plug-in. It includes a really nice xslt debugger.

What is the best IDE tool?

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to develop a web application using EJB(Enterprise JavaBean) and JSP scripts. What is the best tool for IDE and debugging tool, etc.
Could you suggest one of the best currently available? I don't mind the cost much.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Lioba Park

Best is a subjective term, however I can recommend JBuilder as an IDE to do just what you want.
It comes complete with Tomcat and Borlands Enterprise Server. It supports other Web Servers and J2EE servers either natively or by using plug ins.
Everything is nicely intergrated which means that you can do everything in the IDE.

Condition to be applied once per order and per Invoice - best ideas please

Hi
My client has a requirement for a surcharge to be applied once per order. I.e. to be applied once to the first Invoice resulting from an order. This is a set amount for every order. eg. $10.
Additionally, if rescheduling determines another item to be delivered first (when in wasn't when the order was first captured), then it should be active for that condition.
Currently they have it as a material called "xyz surcharge" but as they have not set it up for availability checking, it creates a separate delivery if the other materials are not available on date of order capture. (Always available immediately).
It also proposes different dates when purchase orders are delivered late.
I had thought of creating a normal condition type and then using a requirement to de-activate if the delivery date is not the earliest in the sales order. However, unsure which user-exit to use to run through all items in the order to check this. (Advice please). I may have force re-determine pricing in anothe ruser-exit then.
All ideas please.
Regards
Derrick
