My previous java IDE was UltraEdit (a text editor), and batch files for
compilation and deployment. I tried both NetBeans and Eclipse, and
actually liked NetBeans a bit better, but not enough better to overcome
the appeal of a rapidly-evolving open-source solution like Eclipse,
which other people in my company strongly edorsed. It probably took a
couple of days to be productive in Eclipse, but never looked back after
that, and it's only gotten better in the 7 months I've been using it.
It seems like I discover new features at least once a week, and
sometimes wonder how I ever got by without them. Eclipse made a big
jump when I moved to a 1.5 JDK, allowing debugging of .jsp's.

Sorry to get offtopic a bit but
I'm curious, what problems did you have with
JBuilder that made it unusable for you?
I also hope, we do not get too far off-topic and my
actual question get answered. But basically:
1. JBuilder compiles some .java classes but fails to
copy them to the WEB-INF/classes directory
2. Unpredictable behavior in copying other .class
dependencies to the WEB-INF/classes diectory
3. Failing to recompile necessary files
4. Unable to deal with some jdk 1.5 features in jsp
files
5. Excruciatitingly slow. "Verifying web module" takes
five minutes. Subsequent compilation, 10 minutes.
That's for about 150 .jsp files.
6. "Tab" does not align properly.
7. Insistence on breaking up long lines.
8. Cost
9. Forget the remaining reasons.
I'm back in Emacs and started learning Ant. I'm
Have you considered Eclipse or Netbeans?
Spent one day trying to figure out Eclipse, but then
got impatient. Tried Netbeans three years ago and
didn't really like it.
