Youre right is flamebait :)
I do use vi aswell, but for an enterprise editor that should save you work,
JBuilder dont work, since there is no synchronization of
remote/home/bean/deploymentdescriptor + no database generation of
Containermanaged beans I can't see the point using that much money on an
editor. Im sure there are other tools out there doing the job a whole lot
better. To say something about the editor in JBuilder, its very fast and
lightwaight, the best one ive tried. And they have an excelent deployment
descriptor editor for EJB, but hey its not the deployment descriptor thats
the prob, its all that code editing :)
If anyone have any tips on IDEs that support synching of EJBs (remote, home,
bean, pk, deployment-descriptor) pls post a note on this list :)
My department is looking for one. We found one and that is TogetherJ, only
TogetherJ dont support GUI development other than plain coding, but hey
thats timeconsuming compared to d&d GUI development.

Of course, you could always do what real men/women do and use vi/emacs,
that way you never play the silly version/feature/vendor game, and can
rest easy at night knowing that your java code is all yours, and that no
tool has done horrible things to you and your code behind your back!
