Hi, well, if it is just for bean-creation... Why not use a uml-tool with code-generation? (eg. ArgoUML v0.9 (the experimental one) has code-generation-features)
As a side-dish you can get uml-documentation for your bean-classes... and still you use your preferred IDE (...UltraEdit...). hope this helps Alexander -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 10:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: java IDEs Hi I know this is off topic (apologies), but I think there several people within this group who use Java IDEs. I've never used an IDE (always used an editor like Ultra Edit), but would like to use one to perform mundane tasks like creating beans, etc. My question is: are there any free Java IDEs available, which are relatively easy to use? Nothing too flash, just something to make all the boring monotonous developing tasks simpler and quicker. Thanks Peter
