Good development tools???

I am looking for some good FREE development tools to run under Windows XP. Anyone got some suggestions???
Right now I am using Gvim, Sun JDK, JSwat.
I would like a better Visual Debugger.
I would really like to use an IDE that would allow me to launch Gvim for the file editor, or possible an IDE that has a vi editing mode.
Most importantly I am looking for a stand alone application that will display java API information.
Side note: Does anyone know how to make Gvim help (SHIFT+K) interface with the java API docs under windows???
Thanks,
Matt

Well, there are a few free IDE's. I don't know if you are familar with any like Forte, Netbeans, or JBuilder so I'll just give you some details.
Forte and Netbeans are basically the same. Netbeans is developed and destributed as freeware by a group of developers. Forte is Sun's version of Netbeans, which is basically a stable release of Netbeans with possibly some addons from Sun. I don't use either anymore, but from what I recall, they are essentially the same. You can grab Forte from Sun's web site. You can grab Netbeans for http://www.netbeans.org.
Now, my personal favorite, is Borland's JBuilder. It runs faster than Forte and Netbeans, especially on computers with low RAM (64 MB min). Borland offers a free personal version than can do all the basics. It has a nice drag and drop GUI builder. I find it the easiest to use as well. It also has a built in debugger and Insite. You can grab JBuilder from Borland at http://www.borland.com.

Good Development tools for j2ee

Dear all,
i am new to J2EE, i think it is very difficult to develop and debug j2ee app.
Since, i need to open the j2ee server, deployment tools, text editor, command line for compiled. So many things, moreover when each time i changed a java bean or servlet, i need to open the command line to compile it again, then use the deployment tools to redeploy to see the result. This is my development practices for j2ee. I don't know it is wrong or not, Do anyone have any other suitable practice to develop j2ee, or any other good developmen tools? thanks you

Actually if u take .net only 1 frame work 1 server 1 tool for database connectivity
but J2EE is a open source so there would be
multiple frame work, .....
more choices and every one alter anything according to their wish
so more confusions more problems more maintenance more jobs ...
let me come to the point
there are many IDE's for J2EE
eclipse, netbeans, ...
u can use those things ... but i dont know whether those things can satisfy u

Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 10 Technical Preview

Hi, I've never developed a plugin for Office before. I've downloaded the technical preview of Windows 10 and have it running via Boot Camp on my MacBook (Looks good! I'll buy it when it comes out). Obviously with this being in beta it's understandable that
there are problems, so this is just a heads up on one particular problem. Maybe there's already a solution or workaround?
I've downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, brought a copy of Microsoft Office Home And Student 2013 and am currently in the process of installing Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013.
The only problem though is that when I try to install it I get the following message:
http://s22.postimg.org/dxh1gtra9/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools.png
Here is the log:
http://pastebin.com/7wWkSfjF
I also tried to download the file directly and run that.
http://s3.postimg.org/tj9vb660j/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools2.png
I right clicked on the file and noticed an options called "Troubleshoot Compatibility". There was a wizard, and I ran through the wizard a number of times through different routes but none of them worked. I was unable to find the option which turned
off compatibility mode. I then searched for answers online which told me to do some things in the regedit program but that didn't seem to solve the problem.
Anyway, I understand that this is a beta version of Windows 10 and that there are going to be problems but thought it would be best to let you know. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and buy Windows 8.
Many thanks,
Lawrence

Tns problem with Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools

I installed the full
Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio
now I am at the good old "[ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified]" error.
I copied the same tnsnames.ora as used on the db server
onto the client "C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\Network\Admin".
The host name is right since a normal ping works. TNSping is not available.
but I get the [ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified] error.
The listener is running and the instance as well since it all works on the source server.
I tried it with
SET path=c:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\bin
but tnsping is still not recognized.
sqlplus works on the other hand when I set it to
SET path=c:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\
what is going on...

hey
u can post your query here, and i think everyone here is to share opinion so do not hesitate to do so and please try to google before posting here,
and we know no one is expert like some people saying 'boring questions' you just try to overcome your problem and you will definitly get your problem solved .
some mpeople ar still there who answeres hopeless questions and say nothing about them but when a fresher askin a qustion is not tolarated by them they think everyone is born DBA here
they always tend to discouraging people here on forums,and i think they are vvolunteers to reduce crowd here on forums, inspite of there experience and people respect them they can not control their anger
so please post you tns here, i think there are ways to ask people to google and search docs first, but not like this
thanks and regards

How to install the development tools?

I want to know how to install the development tools like g++, make, etc... I just bought a macbook and seems the development tools don't come with Mac OS X.

Hi--
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
They're on the first of your install/restore discs. I don't have mine in front of me, so I'm kind of winging it, but look for either Developer Tools or Xcode Tools on that disc. If you can't find the installer, post back and I'll dig up my MBP's disc and see where it is on there...
If you have a good internet connection, you can also sign up for the free ADC Online membership and download the tools there. But it's a monster of a download: almost 1GB.

J2ME Development Tools

Hi all
I have found this forum about Java and as I have seen, it is very active and useful in order to solve Java problems or doubts.
The fact is that I am going to use J2ME and I have to decide what the best development tool is, I have read different articles and there's an extensive list of tools: Sun J2ME Wireless Toolkit, Sun One Studio 4 Mobile Edition, Netbeans, Eclipse, etc.
But, what development tool do you recommend me for its good usage and properties?
I have some good references about Eclipse but maybe there are better tools. What do you think?
Moreover, I would be very grateful if you could say to me if there are other interesting forums about J2ME and Eclipse, or the development tool you use.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and help.

NetBeans 4.1.
See:

Installing development tools

I went through the process of installing the development tools package from the Install CD last night, but don't really see anything different in my programs list. Should something extra have been installed there, or did this just install the gcc, gdb stuff at the OS level and no real GUI applications get installed?
Anyone recommend any good books on learning to develop software for the Mac?
Thanks,
glenn

The developer tools are installed in the /Developer folder. To learn about Mac programming, go to the Software Development 101 forum.

Plug a Swing-based development tool into Eclipse

This article teaches you how to integrate a stand-alone Swing-based editor into the Eclipse Platform as a plug-in. Using simple techniques, you can share resources between the Swing tool, the Eclipse Platform, and various SWT widgets -- and these resources can communicate through mutual awareness. Tool vendors who want to bring Eclipse-based development tools to market with a minimal amount of re-coding will also find this article helpful.

I am working since a few months on this topic. We have a Swing Application
which we want to integrate in Eclipse. We decided to do this in little
steps. One of the first is to integrate the application as far as possible
over the Swing Bridge. And the results are really good. We integrated our
editor, some views, resources and the most actions so far. We hope to
release our Alpha version in February.
The really nice thing is, that we could take allmost all our existing Swing
Wizards and so on from the old application. Only some wizards for Project
and new Resource creation had be made new. The communication between AWT /
Swing and SWT is also runnig well. All events (Mouse, Keys..) are being
transfered from one toolkit to the other. The only problem is the
synchronization of the Swing and SWT thread. You often get "Invalid thread
access" messages. But this is solvable.
Gentleware also integrated their modelling tool Poseidon in Eclipse over the
Swing-Bridge. If you wanna see how it looks like, here the download page:
http://gentleware.com/downloadcenter.0.html
You need the Professional version. Their integration is not so nice (I think
they did it really fast). But I think they work on it in the future. But
here you can see that it works ;-)

Scheduler for Export Table utility using PL/SQL developer Tool

Hi,
Is there any way by which i can schedule manually export tables from a user using PL/SQL developer tool 'Export Tables' utility.
As i have lot many schema a for each i have to manually exporting all tables using this utility.
Please suggest.
Thanks,

Hello,
do you mean PL/SQL developer from Allroundautomation? Then this is the wrong forum.
Do you mean the export feature from SQL Developer, that you can invoke on right click in a result pane? You cannot automate it.
But if you tell us more about your requirements we might be able to find a good solution for you. Yet this is a question for the {forum:id=75} forum. There is a FAQ {message:id=9360007}. This combined with dbms_scheduler or a scheduled job on your computer might solve the problem.

Developer tools download for jaguar 10.2.8

Hi folks,
Tell me have I missed something but I've been trying to find a download of the Developement Tools for Jaguar on the Apple site and have failed.
I know that it was released as a CD version with the installation CD set for Jaguar. I know that it was also available from Apple as a download. I also know that starting with Panther it was renamed Xcode. However the Developers download site does not seem to have any software covering the years 1998 to 2006. Does the download I want still exist on Apple's site - but I have not stumbled on the right place to go ?
Perhaps the guys at Apple can point me in the right direction please?

It is obvioulsy in demand from the three requests here, but like you mhview, I have had a good look on the Developer site and I can't see it either. The earliest I found was the first version of Xcode for 10.3.9. which does not satisfy your wishes. You won't get an offical response from Apple on this forum, we are simply users like you, so I can only offer you my thoughts that's all.
That leaves hunting for a secondhand copy online somewhere. You mention CD. I have a 10.2 DVD which came with Developer Tools on disk. I mention this as another possiblity for you to acquire the software, through acquiring the correct grey install disk if you have old hardware to match it.

What team-based development tool can you recommend?

Our team works on a Windows 2000 platform and an Oracle 8i database. Can anyone recommend a good team-based development tool that we can use with our JDeveloper? What about tools like webDAV, Rational ClearCase? Are they easy to use and easy to deploy? What else is out there that already works for you?
Thanks.

J2SDK 1.4.1 Install on Win2K does not install Development Tools

I've tried installing, re-installing, removing and installing the JDK 1.4.1 and it WILL NOT install the GUI development tools. Any hints or clues as to how to fix this?

JDK1.4.1 does not include runide.exe. This executable file is from the Netbeans for Windows installation. As a teacher of Java at a university (part-time), I strongly recommend that you learn the fundamentals of Java before learning to use an IDE such as Netbens.
JDK1.4.1 does not install GUI development tools ? no it will not install an IDE, but it will install everything you need to create a graphical interface.
Please don't be sucked into ignoring the fact that learning Java with an IDE is only "bad" according to opinion. I can assure you that in my experience, it is becoming more and more factual.
Also, don't believe that you have enough experience with Java to begin using an IDE. You previous statements suggest that you have a lot more learning to do. No attempts to attack ability, just trying to help.
At the end of the day, it's up to you. I strongly recommend to start up your command shell and a decent text editor and start playing with swing.
Good luck !

Apex Development Tools

Hello,
Any suggestion for good Apex 4.0 development tools?
Thanks!
Kind Regards,
Cearnau Dan

Well, since APEX is mostly pl/sql based, the other poster's idea of SQL Developer is valid... The other items.... you are on your own for test scripts (again sql developer for the pl/sql required...)
What it sounds like is your are wanting a oracle designer wrap-around for APEX.. Don't know what to tell you.. I would suggest you look at some type of version control system.. Subversion is a good one, MS Source Safe works too...
Thank you,

Development tool for long term

Just wondering which of the three tools:
1. adobe air
2. webworks
3. upcoming native sdk
would be a good bet to be the primary tool used over the next few years?
Just didn't want to have to re-develop apps in case we made the wrong decision today. Is there a general consensus which one might dominate the developer community? Or has anyone tried the beta for the native sdk that could give their opinoin?
thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That all depends on your current skills and the type of app you are trying to develop.
Adobe AIR: Uses ActionScript and is a higher level object-orient language. There are tons of sites and sample code available on the net and AS3 has been around at least 7 years so it is fairly mature. AIR applications can be ported to other platforms including iOS and Android. AIR also allows you to create desktop applications and the sibling version (Flex) allows you to build browser applications. Adobe AIR allows to create a wide variety of application types (basic games, business, etc.). Most people with OO background can pick it up pretty quickly and is "similar" to Java. The development tools are mature (Eclipse) including debuggers, profilters, remote debugging, etc. Very consistent user interface across all platforms.
WebWorks: If you are good with JavaScript and HTML, then this would be a good tool. WebWorks is bewer than AS3, but lots of resources to get to know JavaScript. Probably a little faster to build basic applications than AS3. It has the same drawbacks of developing web-based applications because of JS, but if that is what you know than it is a very good choice. Many other mobile platforms are adopting WebWorks too. Some WebWorks GUI elements look kind of strange.
Native SDK: Is a C++ SDK, so if you have years of C++ knowledge and need to have higher performance application for things like games (because it allows for multi-threading and OGL), then this is a very good choice. Not for the timid in dealing with C++, but you be closer to the OS level and will gain greater performance. If you dont currently know C++, I suggest to start with AS3. Other than games and some high performance business apps, you would have to create a strong case to use NDK over AIR or WebWorks. NDK will be wholy QNX and BBTOS API extensions. Not portable outside the BB/RIM for the most part. Lots of C/C++ libraries will likely port over easily. Unknown IDE at this point, but hopefully it is Eclipse as well.
Hope that helps.
