I have 4 professional, due to my teaching of Java. You are quite correct about it's handling of class libraries - it is quite good at that. I have also got VisualAge 3.2 and Together 5. All have many plusses, and some minuses. In the end, because I wanted a "stock" compile environment that I could use on any machine (i.e. W2K or Solaris), I went with the Sun Java SDK plus a good editor (WinEdit, although Crimson is also good - and free). The benefit is that anything that compiles on W2K will also compile exactly the same way on Solaris. I know there are versions of many IDE's for Solaris, but I cannot afford the time to learn them at present.
