Woooooo. The IDE features that exist today in Eclipse and IntelliJ are far more advanced than the IDE's of yesteryear. If you're thinking, "Hey, I've used Microsoft Visual Studio. I know what IDE's have to offer." You are dead wrong. Likewise if you've used Borland Turbo C++ or the like. There is no comparison between prior IDEs and the modern Java IDEs. I suppose you could say that IDE improvements have been only incremental, and I'd say that language features in modern languages have been only incremental. -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
