In case no one mentioned it yet, IntelliJ IDEA is an outstanding IDE with support for running and debugging code running on app servers, including Tomcat. IDEA has an excellent feature list, but what really sets it apart is how easy it is to use. Perhaps "easy to use" is not really the most complete way to describe it, even though it is easy to use. IDEA is both powerful and intuitive -- like a really fast car with excellent (and forgiving) handling characteristics. Their "Develop with Pleasure" tag line is really true; IDEA is a joy to work with. I have used many IDEs over the years, and IDEA is my favorite.
It is not open source, but it is good enough that I think I would buy myself a copy if I had to. A time-limited license is available for evaluation. http://www.intellij.com/idea/ -Max ----- Original Message ----- From: "isaac" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 8:58 AM Subject: Re: [OT] IDE with easy tomcat upgrade? > On 6/14/03 8:16 AM, "Aaron Longwell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Isaac, > > > > I too am in the market for an IDE.
