Fairwell to JB, but having Jasper problems
Hi,
After 3 years of using JBuilder, I have conclued that
it is unusable. It was almost unusable in version 9,
but became worse with every version.
I'm back in Emacs and started learning Ant. I'm
working with the standard build.xml example and the
command
ant -v jspc -Dtomcat.home=C:/Dola/tomcat
-Dwebapp.path=C:/Dola/tomcat/webbapps/projecta
causes the following error when executed from the
C:\Dola\MyProject directory:
C:\Dola\MyProject\build.xml:21:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The -uriroot option
must specify a pre-existing directory
How do I fix it?
Also, it seems that I had to add the following
classpath to the script:
<pathelement
location="${tomcat.home}/bin/commons-logging-api.jar"/>
Is that correct?
Very many thanks in advance!
Dola

Thank you so much for coming back to this! I just
fixed this and I was coming back here to report my
goof.
If you notice, in the command line that I used
> ant -v jspc -Dtomcat.home=C:/Dola/tomcat
> -Dwebapp.path=C:/Dola/tomcat/webbapps/projecta
the word "webbapps" is misspelled.
Now the error message makes a little more sense, but
"specified directory 'quote' does not exist" would
have been better!
Thank you very much, Joe.

Dola,
Did you ever get this fixed ? If not, how about pasting some of your
build file? Especially around line 21.

Hi all,
Netbeans is open source as well and is also definitely rapidly evolving.
My experience is Netbeans is more mature, has more built in features and
is more stable. But everyone has there own opinion.
Dave.

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.

FWIW, I switched from JBuilder to Eclipse several years ago, and could not
be happier. I recall a few hours of frustration at the start, but I don't
recall exactly what. Eclipse has a decent Emacs keystroke mode which is a
requirement for me...

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.

Spent one day trying to figure out Eclipse, but then
got impatient. Tried Netbeans three years ago and
didn't really like it.
