I use IDEA, and take the hit of having to maintain both classpath settings. But I do other tricks and have the source to apache projects I depend up (like Apache axis) mounted as source dirs, so get really good integration across the libraries I use. (BTW idea3.0 is out, seems very solid so far, though I'd like to know how to specify a different GC, as with the .bat way of starting the beta releases, I'd moved over to the parallel GC in 1.4.01 to get rid of those long pauses that java GUI apps have every so often, and now they are back.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
