+1 for me... but use vim instead of emacs ;)

In short, whatever works for you.

Personally, I don't use IDEs.  Hate them.  Everytime I start to use them,  I
just go back to Emacs, find, and grep.  I use printlns to debug, or in more
complex situations, write some monitor object.  But that works best for me.

The best advice is to just start doing things.  We are starting to put
structure around those who contribute.  Contribute and you will get
attention.

Subject: [JBoss-dev] taming the beast


First, I'd like to apologize to anyone I may have offended or
irritated in
recent days. I am not a "whiner" by nature and realize that this is a
***technical*** list. Nor do I intend to organize a "build system
revolution"
among JBoss contributors, or pollute this list with my personal
issues, or
disturb the JBoss universe in a major way.

I also don't expect to be spoon fed - I have worked on large
systems before
and am fairly good at locating the ***source*** of a bug and
***fixing it***
(I prefer to leave ***finding*** the bug itself to the testers however.)

Now that I have gotten past the build stage, I would lke to begin to be
productive by fixing some bugs, but I have no idea what tools (preferably
free tools for Linux (Red Hat 8.0))  work for JBoss development and
debugging. If there are no useful tools and current contributors
are using
jdb in a console, or, at the other extreme, avoiding unix altogether and
running a shrink-wrapped IDE under  Windows XP over a Samba
connection (for
unix compatibility verification and testing) I would like to know
that so I
don't waste time trying to implement a utopian solution. On the
other hand,
if there exist useful applications for any of the following
purposes that
developers are actually using on this project, or a related
purpose I have
neglected to consider, I would like to know that too --
especially if there
is a particularly useful combination of tools that is widely
adhered to by
members of the JBoss community:

IDEs

Advanced Source code analysis, visualization, code databases

Primitive Source code tagging (e.g., like ctags but for Java)

Build Management tools / techniques (I came up with a simple
algorithm for
cycling updates through my local cvs - i.e. synchronizing local
and remote
cvs - but suspect now that even that may be utopian or just unnecessary).

Tools targeted at multithreaded server applications - in
particular tools that
are good at dealing with threads.

Tools designed especially for testing parallel distributed apps.

Anything else I've left out.

I am eager to make a contribution and welcome any advice you may have
to expedite this process.

Secondly I need to know ***which builds are of highest priority.
*** I have
seen some very ancient bug reports on source forge. It is not
obvious to me
just by looking at a bug what is real and what isn't. Feel free
to request a
particular fix - I can't promise I'll pick that one though.

Also, please do not just tell me to go read the documentation - I
have looked
at JMX and read the 3.0 book already. I have also perused this
site fairly
thoroughly I think. I'd be surprised to discover that I have
overlooked some
obvious source unless it has been added in the past week.

At the same time, I must confess (as if it is not obvious enough
already) that
I am fairly new to open source - my professional experience lies
primarily
with offline mainframes and PCs in a development environment managed by
somebody else.

Feel free to contact me personally at the e-mail accompanying
this posting.

TIA,

Ben Tompkins

Ok - great - but the physics bit (the first, shorter faq that
goes on about

"cantorian fractal spacetime" is mostly plagiarized from a real paper I
found on the net. Do you want we me to cut it, seek permission,
or what. I

realize that I have created a silly issue - but you never know...
