I'm currently using Forte 2.0 for a big JSP project. The color-coded
editor is a god-send (although I had to simplify the colors schemes to be
comfortable... a simple black=Java and blue=html is fine with me). The
ability to compile the JSP file within the IDE (press F9) saves a lot of
time that used to be wasted in reloading the page in a browser, looking
at the dreaded exception, and then hunting though the compiled JSP files
to match up line numbers.
I have only encountered one very minor bug in 2.0. Overall it's cleaner
than 1.0. (I never tried the 2.0 beta.) Also I haven't bothered to try
running the JSP's in the built-in server... editing and compiling in the
IDE have been enough for me for now.
I used to be a Cafe user, and hated every minute. Then I moved to Kawa
and was very happy, but limited to Windows environments. Now with Forte
I am *very* satisfied. (And its free too!)
