Sorry, but I had to respond to this. :) Emacs has an excellent Java development environment called JDE: (http://jdee.sunsite.dk). It also has context-sensitive completion, templates, IRC clients, nntp/mail clients, a shell (eshell), excellent integration with CVS, Subversion, ClearCase, Perforce, etc... Oh, I forgot to mention the web browsers, games, calendars, and integrated wiki. This may sound shocking, but it also has a text editor. :) Before you complain about the operating footprint of EMACS, compare it with Eclipse or NetBeans. Certainly, vi has a smaller footprint than EMACS, but how big does a wrapper around cat and ed need to be? :) >From EMACS faith.el... __________________________ 24:34 EMACS is the light of the elispland and the editland. Its light may be compared to a niche that enshrines a lamp, the lamp within a crystal of star-like brilliance. It is lit from a blessed olive tree neither eastern nor western. Its very oil would almost shine forth, though no fire touched it. Light upon light; EMACS guides to Its light whom It will. __________________________ 20:114 Do not be quick to recite the Emacs-Manual before its revelation is completed, but rather say: "EMACS, increase my knowledge." __________________________ Just trying to bring light to the heathens. I'm done now. :) -- Nick Heudecker SystemMobile, Inc.
