Java IDE (Eclipse) Question...

Is there any way to import classes from outside a "Project"?
For example, I have a very large set of packages (the "Substance Look and Feel") that clutters up my project when I import them. Is it possible to make a set of "General Libraries" that don't have to be imported into each project that uses them? Or, barring that, is there any way to import Substance into a project such that it doesn't deposit ~10 top-level packages into the directory?
Thanks!

Yep.

Java IDEs

Hello,
I am interested in getting some feedback on java IDEs. Is the Eclipse, Sun Studio, or Netbeans IDE better for developing desktop, web, and mobile java applications.
Secondly, are the books available at bookstores on IDEs like the Netbeans Field Guide worth the money, or is the online user's guide better?
Lastly, what are some good books on developing GUI's?
Thank you.

Secondly, are the books available at bookstores on IDEs like the Netbeans Field Guide worth the money, or is the online user's guide betterYou generally use an IDE to make your life easier. It is not science, most if not all functions will speak for themselves. The question that remains is "is this and that possible?" When you see yourself faced with that question, use the help and if that fails: there is always google.
So my opinion is no: you don't need a book for any IDE.

Best Java IDE ? lets rank em

Folks,
I was jst wonderin wats the most popular Java IDE being used
"out there" in your corner of the world ?
If there are any patient souls, I would appreciate your personal
ranking on them ? Tried asking god (read google), but found most
pages a bit biased.
We'll come out with a verdict in the end.
And there is a surprise gift for the best 10 posts.. yeah right ?? :-)

Why people lose time writing for a question that they
don't want to answer. I think all of them are
stupids.Nice hearing from the most intelligent of the lot! If you'd had a grain of grey matter in your brain, you'd not have wasted time in resurrecting useless old threads.
Well, I use Eclipse IDE and IBM WSAD.Eclipse is fine. WSAD sucks; in general, WebSphere sucks!!!
Eclipse is very nice and is faster than WSAD, but
WSAD have some interesting features.Who cares?

Java IDE Internationization Tools

Is there any Java IDE(s) out there that have built in tools to support internationalization?

I'm using 2.0.1. It's not a plugin - look at \Source\Externalize Strings... menu.
Regarding Websphere - I can only imagine that it works as well or better than base Eclipse - but I'm not using WS right now, so you'll want to check for yourself.

Simple Object Modelling and Java IDE for OSX?

I haven't been technical for a while and I want to refresh my Java and object modelling skills. I'm looking for two things. If I can find both in the same environment so much the better.
1) A basic UML modelling tool. All I really care about is describing a medium size object model: classes, sub-classes, attributes, relations, etc.
2) A basic Java IDE. Don't need EJB or anything complex. Just want to compile run and debug simple Java programs.
I down loaded Net Objects but it seems like overkill for what I want. I looked on some open source sites but almost nothing was native to OSX it all ran under Windows or required a Java virtual machine. Actually I guess that's another question, is there already a Java virtual machine as part of OSX or do I need to download one and if so which would be the best.
I'm willing to spend a few $$ but free stuff would be better and no more than $50. So far I found one product native to OSX but the starting cost was $400+ for a five person license.

In case anyone has the same question, I just found this very nice tool on the Apple web site called Visual Paradigm for UML:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/development_tools/visualparadigmforumlente rpriseedition.html
I'm still getting to know it but this is exactly what I was looking for. Fairly easy to use if you already know OO but not as complex as some other tools and works well on the Mac.

Light weight Java IDE needed linux only

Hi,
I'm looking for a light weight java ide that will run on linux. An editor with some basic options such as auto-compelte like in jbuilder and eclipse, doesn't have to have a gui designer but would be nice if it could handle packages and such. I'm running 128 mb of ram RDRAM and a p4 1.3 ghz and i'm getting tired of all these ide's not responding every 3 minutes. Could someone please recommend a light ide for java??
Thanks!

I mean why can't you use Eclipse?With only a 128MB of RAM Eclipse is going to struggle. I would second the other posters suggestion of looking at JEdit. But the OP might want to splurge and buy some more RAM, regardless of what editor they end up using.

Working Java IDE for Intel-based Mac?

Apparently Rosetta has big problems with the Java virtual machine, so my beloved Borland JBuilder crashes on startup (on my iMac Core Duo), despite working beautifully on my PowerBook.
Looking for a replacement, I found this apple website:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/eclipse.html
which enthusiastically endorses an IDE called "Eclipse" for Java development on the Mac. So I downloaded it, but it too crashes on startup. Is Apple planning to fix these fairly severe Rosetta problems? Otherwise, are there any reasonable Java IDE's out there that Intel-based macs are capable of running?
(Wolfram -- the company that makes Mathematica -- has also noticed problems with Rosetta's handling of the Java VM: http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/macintosh/osx/macintelrosetta.htm l )

Hello Mike,
yes you are right.
The Bug #98889, deals with the Eclipse on Intel-Mac problem, since June, 8th 2005 and it works great.
I took the https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=33023 attachement (SWT 3219) and placed
- eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.2.0.jar
instead of
- eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.1.1.jar
That was all I have to do.
After the installation, you got an eclipse which runs at an incredible speed I never saw before - even on Windows-native machines at work!
Remark: There will also be an org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.2.0 directory extracted which you should put into the plugins - directory.
I use a stable 3.1 version with this patch and everything works fine.

Low cost Java IDE

i'm new to java but i used to program a little in C++ so the core of the language is not that difficult to learn. basically what i am going to use it for is discrete math (that seems kind of wierd, i should be using something like Fortran 90). anyway i was wondering if anyone had any knowledge about low cost IDE Java compilers, something like a student version of an IDE compiler without all the features that i cannot even begin to understand because i was a math major in college and not a compsci major. some one told me (actually my psychiatrist of all people) that SAMS publishing company might publish a Java tutorial in book format with an attatched CD that is a Java IDE compiler. basicaly i don't want to have to learn how to compile and link and change classpath variables from a comand line. i'm lazy, so sue me.
anyway any advice would be appreciated.

>
No it doesn't! People who hightlight their knowledge
of IDE 'X' on their resume inevitably don't know the
language, they only know the tool. You take away their
tool and they have no idea how to write code. This is
true regardless of platform or language.
I agree with most of what rtg54 says here, but sometimes when people list an IDE they really DO know the language and the IDE. "Invariably" might not be the right word here. The probability might be high that listing an IDE means little understanding, but it's not 100% certain.
Standard (Java) IDE Advice:
As someone new to Java this person should not be using
an IDE until they can install the JDK, setup
classpaths, run 'java' and 'javac' from the
commandline, navigate the JavaDocs and manage packages
manually, i.e. through a command line. Yes, this will
result in a higher initial learning curve, but will
pay off greatly in the future. If they want to use a
simple text editor like JEdit or TextPad for syntax
highlighting that's fine, but by using anything more
like JBuilder, Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans, etc.
they'll be doing themselves a huge disservice.I agree with all this. - MOD

Dr Java IDE help

Ok, so i want to move into java 3D but i guess the Dr Java IDE doesn't want me to. I built the first program supplied in a tutorial and it compiled with no errors. However, when i run this compiled code in the eclipse IDE, it works... wtf?!?. When i went to run the program in the Dr Java IDE, nothing happens and i get this error in the console listed below. Anyways, i want to do this in Dr Java because eclipse confuses me as I've had no experience with it. Thanks.

}

1. Enterprise, about the same dl as personal, so why not.
2. Win2k Pro will do nicely(dont bother with Server, unless u need server for other purposes as well)
3. JDeveloper is good, however as a newbie i think u should start out in notepad or alike.

Best Java IDE fo Linux

what is the best Java IDE for linux system

I use on three different projects three different IDEs: JBuilder, Eclipse and IntelliJ. I personally prefer IntelliJ, although Eclipse and JBuilder are very good products as well. If you need absolute stability, Eclipse is maybe a little bit early in development, on the other hand it is free and open source. Additionally it "feels" a little bit faster on Linux, because it does not use Swing but SWT which utilizes native controls.

BEST Java IDE/RAD tool

What is the best Java IDE for the price? I don't currently do a lot with Enterprise Java Beans and such ... but 1 thing I really need is to speed up GUI development for Java apps.
Any ideas?

Free:
netbeans.org
eclipse.org (my current favorite)
Both have a ton of features, including CVS integration.

Best Java IDE

Is there any site which ranks the Java IDE's available in the market?

Ctrl-Space dot completion in codeJBuilder, Eclipse, JCreator all have this. It's becoming a neccesary feature to even be considered.
ANT integration, for those of you who want itEclipse, JBuilder, probably JCreator.
Makes suggestions as you write your code. Ex: if I
create a new class and make use of a Vector, a little
blue popup appears (that doesn't steal focus) that
tells me to press Alt+Enter if I want it to insert the
appropriate import at the top of the file.I like Eclipse's way of doing it. You code and then say organize imports and viola, they are all there. And it doesn't use * it brings in each class separately and asks if there are mulitple classes with the same name.
Then, with my cursor at the end of "itco", I press
tab. With one keystroke, the code becomesThis is the same as JBuilder but you use ctrl-J. You can add your own templates also. I assume you can do that in IntelliJ has the same ability. I'm pretty sure Eclipse does too but I haven't bothered to figure out how.

Java ide productivity gain

Hello -
I'm building a business case for a client regarding Return on Investment (ROI) of Java IDE (not necessarily JDevelopler). The client has 2 different non-IDE environments (one with microsoft products, the other with CORBA). The million dollar question is what productivity gain will they see by moving to a common Java IDE? Thank you.

Depends upon your staff, their training and understanding; your specific deployment method, your established infrastructure that you must stay within. sigh Productivity gain is relative to starting point, so your question can not be simply responded to without some way of knowing and measuring your current "productivity" and determining a method of projecting, via a metric, the target "productivity" produced by the use of the IDE.
What is your deployment target? Do you need to debug server side java?
Another example, if you use BC4J, and currently have no framework for dealing with databases in your Java... you may achieve great "productivity" by not writing your own custom layer. And then there is the "immediate" gain vs the gain over the long haul. ( maintaining/enhancing your proprietary custom layer, dealing with new situations that you didn't know about when you started, etc ).
Do you have well designed/built templates as a starting place... or will JDEV's wizards help generate code for you and remove a lot of muck work?
FWIW, I've seen folk use notepad and W95 to create complex Java apps/websites ( or for that matter C++ apps ) faster than fancy development IDEs for spot, narrowly focused and discrete tasks and projects. Those folk also knew how to use the web to find re-usable components quickly. Not that the resulting apps were all necessarily MAINTAINABLE.
I'm glad to discern that you are not looking at JDev as a "RAD" tool, or mistake it for a 4GL.
But when looking at JDEV as an Enterprise level database applications toolset for building Java/Web applications for the long haul... well... I picked it. grin
You might look at the JDEV 9i white paper. See closer integration for Repository, PL/SQL, UML modeling/Designer... etc.
Lastly, I think any IDE you get will NOT be a productivity gain until your staff has training in how to use it, has some time to learn the quirks and workarounds, determines how to set up infrastructure/standards... the first project will probably be a bear.. but AFTER the first project, if you persevered, kept the staff, and use the same approach and look/feel ( application/applet/jsp/servelet/ad nauseam ) then you should see fairly good productivity gain. What's fairly good? ( What's quality? I know it when I see it. )
Heheh. Good Luck.

Java IDE Security Issues

I'm evaluating Java IDE's. My boss wants me to evaluate IDE security issues. I can't think of any issues, or how an IDE can have anything to do with security, but didn't want to sweep it under the rug without asking all of you security experts.
Are there any security concerns when selecting a Java IDE?

Yeah, you confirmed what I already knew I suppose.
Unfortunately, I know nothing if this organization, as
I'm only consulting. The management here INSISTS that
security be addressed, but I think it's out of scope
for Java IDE selection. Thanks!In that context, things like "supports HTTPS and ssh access for remote development" may be exactly what they're looking for. It lets managers say "Yes we considered security in making this purchase, and yes the developers of this tool take security seriously." Doesn't mean that security is ever going to impact the actual use of the product.
Remember that a portion of any management decision goes to insuring you can show a good-faith effort to avoid problems, when/if they happen down the road and someone's looking for a fall guy...
Good luck!

Java IDE (JBuilder) cannot find J2ME's API and packages

Hi,
could anyone help me with this?
I went to sun's java web site, and I downloaded and install the latest version of the wireless toolkit. I need to create a windows application that can send/receive MMS messenges, and hence the need for the J2ME's API and also WMA's API.
However, even after I installed the wireless toolkit, my Java IDE (JBuilder 2005) cannot detect any packages like "javax.microedition.*" or "javax.wireless.*" etc etc
Is there a place where I can download/purchase J2ME. Please be patient with me because I am a newbie in the world of J2ME... thanks :)

When you configuring your project in JBuilder just add some jar (which you need) from wtk library in section "include"
Project properties
Paths
Required libries
and add here addition j2me libraries.
