I am not against paying for the capabilities. I am very familiar with struts and comfortable hand keying the whole thing. The issue I am trying to address is the best tool I can give/suggest to my co-workers that after a bit of explanation on what goes on behind the scenes (in the black or maybe not so black box) is the most productive and can get them going quickly.
Craig, thanks for taking the time to talk to me at JavaOne. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig McClanahan Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 1:45 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Struts Editing in IDE On 6/5/06, Andrè Kapp (AJ) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > All you need is the base Eclipse 3.2 and then MyEclipse on top of that > - > Standard with MyEclipse is support for Struts 1.0 /1.1/ 1.2, etc... > Also included is support for JSF, Hibernate, Proper JSP editor, > Database Explorer.... > It wil cost you a license fee of +- $30.00 but it is money well worth > spend. > > Here is the web-site link http://www.myeclipseide.com/ > > This is really ALL you need Or you could do this kind of thing with NetBeans 5.0 or 5.5 beta, and spend your $30 on more important stuff like beer :-). However, neither of these solutions really addresses the "drag and drop" request from the original poster. The tools that support Struts have tended to focus on automating creation of the configuration files, and making the process of hand coding JSP pages less painful. If you really want visualization of what your page is going to look like at runtime, from within a tool, you'll likely want to take a look at tools based on JavaServer Faces (such as Sun Java Studio Creator, Oracle JDeveloper, and so on) instead, that provide this capability as a first class feature of the tool.
