Couple things I would add... 1. Kawa is discontinued.
2. UltraDev 4 doesn't hide the code if you don't want it to. You can use it in design, code, or design/code. I usually use it (for HTML coding) in design/code, which is awesome -- you let it draw tables and resize things, then go in and tweak the code as needed or just write in the easy stuff. I don't use it or any IDE for JSP though (use gvim). 3. We have integrated our GUI Deployment Tool with JBuilder Personal ( which is free ), so you can develop EJB's easily with Borland and JRun. We are updating this tool to support EJB 2.0 as part of the JRun 4 release cycle.
