What's the best Java Editor?

Right now I'm using JCreator. I've tried JBuilder, but it keeps crashing on my machine and it runs damn slow...
Is there a better editor out there that shows your errors clearer and stuff?

The fastest "IDE" is actually a good text editor like
TextPad and your Java SDK. The learning curve is
basically nil, the cost is incredibly low, and you
have more learning opportunities. An IDE, however,
makes GUI building faster if you can live with the
limitations and excess code.Hi, I don't agree with you - using "only" a good texteditor for programing purpose is, in my opinion, the better way to Java - ok, you have to read a lot before you get in going, but I bet, when looking on 2 java newbies who invested 3 month in learning java, the one with the "editor only" will know more about java and building a GUI and his programs may be more compact . o O (*g* he had to type all this, so he begins to learn short coding earlier).
With an IDE you will - as a newbie - come earlier to little programs that work, but you will need more time to do the real thing, because your understanding of the java background is less - who reads the automatic generated parts of the program as a newbie? - And, given a normal texteditor to both of them - the 2 guys in the paragraph above - who would be able to write a little java program faster?
The learning curve isn't basically nil - if you really work on the topic of learning to write a java program, and not only arrange components on the screen and let the IDE work.
greetings Marsian
P.S.: I am German, my girl friend is English - she told me now, that she interprets your posting as postive to the editor only solution - hmm ... now I am confused - why do english talking persons don't say what they are meaning?

Which is the Best Java Editor?

I am a new java programmer? which is best editor to develop enterprise solution?
I heard about Eclipse,NetBeans,JBuilder which is better?
Aravind

When you get a few days/weeks of down time, do a search on this forum for best IDE and read all about everyone's opinions. This question is constantly asked. And then after you've read all the possible arguments for each one and your head is spinning learn to use the command line tools to compile and run while writing code in a simple text editor of your choice.

What's the best Java technology for web development?

I'm very new to J2EE (only worked with J2SE before), and I'm interested in how it works. I understand that JSP pages are somewhat similar to PHP scripts, etc... My question is, what should I be learning about if I want to write a website using Java?
Thanks.

I understand that JSP pages are somewhat similar to PHP scripts,
etc... I don't think that's true, but I'll admit to not being a PHP user.
My question is, what should I be learning
about if I want to write a website using Java?You'll have to know:
servlet engine like Tomcat or a Java EE app server like JBOSS or WebLogic
HTML (this isn't Java per se)
JSP or Velocity or Freemarker (template technologies)
JSTL
servlets
JavaScript (this isn't Java per se)
Depending on what you want your web site to do, you'll have to know JDBC and SQL and relational databases if you have persistent data.
There are a lot of frameworks available for web apps. Google for a list, but the ones you'll hear come up most often are Struts, WebWork, and Java Server Faces.
Spring has a Web MVC framework and lots more. It would be worth a serious look.

What's the best java book available?

Anyone knows any good, detail java book available out there for
beginer/intermediate level programmer? Greatly appreciated.

hi,
i would recommend Beginning Java 2 - SDK 1.4 Version, it's a good book for people starting off and moving to interm., the author covers the basics and more advanced topics later such as JDBC, working with XML and Java and Printing all in one book. Also half way through the book, once he starts talking about building GUI, he builds a small application, then for the next few chapters what ever is taught is also built into the app, the app he shows you how to build is something like ms paint. so he shows you not only how to write small programs but also building an application, i don't remember the size of it but i believe it was a few thousand lines long. he also builds a second app, smaller for working with databases later. the only problem is the size of the book and price, but if you have the time to read it, i'd recommend that one.

What is the best Java installer??

Hi,
I know this is not exactly a programing question,but I am writing a small desktop application which I want to distribute on CD.
To make it look as professional as possible I would like to use an installer the install the applications on Windows PC's. The problem is I need an installer which can detect if the PC has the JRE installed and if not or it is an out dated version install a newer JRE and then install my application.
I cannot find an installer capable of doing this - except for installAnywhere which is way to expensive for me.
Can anyone recommend a good installer to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!!!

The http://www.izforge.com/izpack looks great - the
problem is that it needs a JRE installed to run and
some machines wont have one pre-installed.I wouldn't use the users installed JRE even if one exists. Put the JRE you want to use in your application folders and have your application be completely self-contained. That's much more seemless than using an unknown JRE or installing one on the users machine or messing with their existing JRE setup. The user won't even have to know it running in Java.
There is no need for an 'installed' JRE.

What is the best equation editor for pages on the iPad?

I am a math teacher and I just purchased an iPad. I am trying to releave myself from carrying around a laptop in favor of the light-weight iPad. I used MS Word 2011 on my MacBook and really love its new design for its Equation Editor, but now that I am with the iPad, I will be shifting to Pages and need to know how I can get the same results as I did with Word's Equation Editor. Any ideas? There seems to be a few apps for this, but I am not sure how they stack up and none of them are free for me to experiment with.

CloudOn has the excellent MS Word Equation Editor. It really neds a stylus to operate, but, with that caveat, it is an excellent solution.

The best Latex Editor for MAC

What is the best Latex editor for Mac ? I'm looking for a suitable alternative to MacTex - either Commercial or freeware.

andy8,
there are quite a few “integrated” solutions, combining editor and pdf preview (the very fine TeXShop being one of them) -- some of them are quite new (even beta); TeXShop, on the other hand, is very mature:
TeXPad:
http://vallettaventures.com/texpad
Latexian:
http://tacosw.com/latexian/
TeXnicle:
http://www.bobsoft-mac.de/texnicle/texnicle.html
Scribo:
http://www.scriboapp.com/
Texmaker (cross-platform, qt-based; all the others are OS X native):
http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/index.html
You can also check the entries, and the comments, on Macupdate:
http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/latex
That said, I use none of them, although I have TeXShop around. (This doesn’t mean the new integrated solutions aren’t any good; I haven’t tried them yet.)
That’s because what’s most important, imho, in a good LaTeX environment is the editor, i.e., how much help is there to get the source written. Accordingly, many people would agree that the best editor available plus a fine synchronised, but stand-alone pdf viewer is superior than a (compromising, or so the musing goes) all-in-one tool.
The, hands-down, best pdf viewer, supporting PDFSync (syncing source and pdf), is Skim; it’s free:
http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/
As regards the best editor, there is constant disagreement among OS X users, some would even say “war” -- but that just shows how vivid the Mac ecosphere is when it comes to such tools.
Leaving the “classics” aside, Emacs (Aquamacs, http://aquamacs.org/) and Vim (Macvim, http://code.google.com/p/macvim/), dreaded for their learning curve, worshipped for their power, two of the best, modern, clean, yet powerful editors are TextMate and Sublime Text 2:
http://macromates.com/
helpful: http://www.astrobetter.com/how-and-why-to-use-textmate-for-latex/
http://www.sublimetext.com/2
helpful: http://tekonomist.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/the-in-progress-latex-plugin-for-subl ime-text-2-4/
Many would hold that the combination of either TextMate (2) or Sublime Text 2 together with Skim provides the best LaTeX environment ever.
Take care.

What is the best editor to use for JSP/Servlet?

Hello,
What is the best editor to use for JSP/Servlet database development.
I'm looking at Dreamweaver,Java Studio Creator.
I want some thing fairly easy to use that has database helper wizards like dreamweaver.
Thanks for the help.
Frank

Is it better to have a servlet do the database work and call it from JSP?No, it's better to have persistence objects do the database work. Servlets handle HTTP requests, and JSPs are HTML factories that should be pure view.
But there are lots of ways to do things. You just have to understand the tradeoffs when you decide.
I do not want to hammer out code, I want to learn the
best way to do things from experienced developers. Sorry, sounded like you just wanted to churn stuff.
"best way" can be subjective. In one app, "best" might be "delivered fastest". For another, "best" might be "most secure" or "most easily modified" or "best performing" or whatever. You won't get a "best" answer, only different choices. And they aren't always so easy to explain or execute.
I'd recommend that you start by reading about layered applications (3-tier architectures) and MVC separation. Once you've Googled enough about that, look into a framework like Struts or Spring or WebWork. That'll help you figure out where to put each responsibility in your app.
I can use dreamweaver to create web apps, but I hate
the arrays used to define fields. It also seems not
to take advantage of connection pooling.Don't know what you're talking about here, Frank. What do fields have to do with connection pooling?

What is the best way to verify default heap size in Java

Hi All,
What is the best way to verify default heap size in Java ? does it vary over JVM to JVM . I was reading this article http://javarevisited.blogspot.sg/2011/05/java-heap-space-memory-size-jvm.html , and it says default size is 128 MB but When I run following code :
public static void main(String args[]) {
int MB = 1024*1024;
System.out.println(Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()/MB);
It print "870" i.e. 870 MB.
I am bit confused, what is the best way to verify default heap size in any JVM ?

Hi Kayaman,
Sorry but I don't agree with you on verification part, Why not I can verify it ? to me default means value when I don't specify -Xms and -Xmx and by the way I was testing that program on 32 bit JRE 1.6 on Windows. I am also curious significant difference between 128MB and 870MB I saw, do you see anything obviously wrong ?That spec is outdated. Since Java 6 update 18 (Sun/Oracle implementation) the default maximum heap space is calculated based on total memory availability, but never more than 1GB on 32 bits JVMs / client VMs. On a 64 bits server VM the default can go as high as 32gb.
The best way to verify ANYTHING is to address multiple sources of information and especially those produced by the source, not some page you find on the big bad internet. Even wikipedia is a whole lot better than any random internet site IMO. That's common sense, I can't believe you put much thought into it that you have to ask in a forum.

What's the best XML for JAVA?

Hi There,
My big question is what should I use for develop a normal XML document, that can:
- contain BASE64 strings
- support UTF-8 add attributes, etc.
I then want to pick this document and:
- do it's parsing (walk trough)
- apply a xsl to this document.
I've made this in C using libxml2 for WIN32/HP-UX, and also in VB using msxml4, now I must make the same document in Java, I see a lot of alternatives but really don't know what to choose...
In these languages I pick a structure that we support (similar to a tree) and serialize it to XML, send it as a string and then rebuild the initial structure with flaws. Each client can have a xsl file to show the information in the way he wants to.
So, I ask your opinion what's the best for JAVA (a fast learning curve is preferable, but speed of processing is very, very important)?
Thanks in advance for all the replies,
Lu�s Pinho

What is the best practise to provide a text file for a Java class in a OSGi bundle in CQ?

This is probably a very basic question so please bear with me.
What is the best way to provide a .txt file to be read by a Java class in a OSGi bundle in CQ 5.5?
I have been able to read a file called "test.txt" that I put in a structure like this /src/resources/<any-sub-folder>/test.txt from my java class at /src/main/java/com/test/mytest/Test.java using the bundle's getResource and getEntry calls but I was not able to use the context.getDataFile. How is this getDataFile method call to be used?
And what if I want to read the file located in another bundle, is it possible? or can I add the file to some repository and then access it - but I am not clear how to do this.
And I would also like to know what is the best practise if I need to provide a large data set in a flat file to be read by a Java class in CQ5.
Please provide detailed steps or point me to a how to guide or other helpful resources as I am a novice.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
VS

As you can read in the OSGi Core specification (section 4.5.2), the getDataFile() method is to read/write a file in the bundle's private persistent area. It cannot be used to read files contained in the bundle. The issue Sham mentions refers to a version of Felix which is not used in CQ.
The methods you mentioned (getResource and getEntry) are appropriate for reading files contained in a bundle.
Reading a file from the repository is done using the JCR API. You can see a blueprint for how to do this by looking at the readFile method in http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/tags/2.4.0/jackrabbit-jcr-commons/src/main/java /org/apache/jackrabbit/commons/JcrUtils.java. Unfortunately, this method is not currently usable as it was declared incorrectly (should be a static method, but is an instance method).

Justin

What is the BEST practice - use BO or Java Object in process as webservice

Hi All,
I have my BP published as web service. I have defined My process input & output as BOs. My BP talks to DB through DAO layer(written in JAVA) which has Java objects. So I have BO as well as java Objects. Since I am collecting user input in BO, I have to assign individual values contained in BO to Java object's fields.
I want to reduce this extra headache & want to use either of BO or Java object.I want to know What is the best practice - use BO or Java object as process input. If it is BO,how I can reuse BOs in Java?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Sujata P. Galinde

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your response. I also wanted to use java object only. When I use java object as process input argument..it is fine. But when I try to create Process web service, I am getting compilation error - "data type not supported".....
To get rid of this error, I tried to use heir (BO inheriting from java class). But while invoking process as web service, it is not asking for fields that are inherited from java class.
Then I created Business Object with a field of type java class... This also is not working. While sending request, it is giving an error that - field type for fields from java class not found.
Conclusion - not able to use java object as process(exposed as web service) input argument .
What is the Best & feasible way to accomplist the task - Process using DAO in Java & exposed as web service.
Thanks & Regards,
Sujata
