JSP Editors

Sorry if off topic but...

What do people use to edit JSPs?

I'm after an editor, free if possible, to run on windows, with syntax
colouring and possibly auto complete for java.

Have tried vim for windows, but it doesn't seem as nice on windows as it
is on linux.


Any other suggestions?

Cheers

Sun One Studio is Sun's 'extension' to NetBeans
Studio v4 was free, but v5 is not.....

from Sun:-
"Developers who prefer to continue using a free IDE and only require 
J2SE and Web application development capabilities should download the 
NetBeans <http://www.netbeans.org> open source IDE."

http://www.netbeans.org/

<holywar>
PS. If you have some space bucks, i'd go for IntelliJ's IDEA (or at 
least give it a spin)
They were good to us for a few licences(cheaper than what was stated on 
their site), and I believe they also offer educational discounts :)
</holywar>

Otherwise, NetBeans all the way, its bearable for free. ;)

Take a look at Eclipse (www.eclipse.org) [FREE] combined with MyEclipse
(www.myeclipseide.com) [$29.95].

Having used many IDE's, standalone editors etc, I can positively state
that this IDE will save you LOADS of time, blood sweat and tears. It is
fast, feature packed, written in java, and allows you to develop and debug
web projects easily. It supports virtually all the common J2EE servers
(including Tomcat 4 and 5). It runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. It
features tight cvs integration too. It rocks.

I hear IDEA is a good IDE, and I have used CodeGuide (also good) but I
switched to Eclipse after trying it out.

If you have time to experiment, try Eclipse - you won't believe how good
it is.

ps I'm not in any way affiliated to Eclipse or MyEclipse!

I use the Gel IDE, from www.gexperts.com
I've used JBuilder, Eclipse, Netbeans, JCreator and various text editors
with syntax highlighting, but nothing mathes Gel IMO.

And it's free..

regards,

Vidar

I second that.  Has a few quirks, but nothing that affects your programming.

Hi,

I don't use it because I am too used to my own editor (EditPlus) but one of
my colleagues uses Macromedia Dreamweaver and it is really fabulous.

I can't even begin to list all of it's amazing features.  If you are looking
to get the right editor this is what to go with.

Andoni.
