[offtopic] IDE for Tomcat?
I was wondering what kind of IDEs people were using for Tomcat development?
Any recomendations for someone who's been developing on linux from a NT desktop via ssh? (vi has it's charms, but there's got to be a better way!) Anything to avoid?
Thanks

I use both Websphere Studio Application Developer (based on Eclipse) and
Dreamweaver MX together. WSAD has great Java authoring, CVS/database
support and automatic WAR generation so I use it for Model/Controller
development, and I use Dreamweaver to develop Views (JSP) and use the SSH
publishing for incremental testing on Tomcat.
I Develop on Win2K (workstation and laptop kept in sync through WSAD and
CVS) and host Tomcat, CVS and MySQL on Linux. Works beautifully.

I thnk you'd like JEdit better than UltraEdit, and its
free.

Try using Nedit, It has syntax highlighting for just about everything
and macros for compiling and other little features. It;s available as an
rpm or source from any Linux site.
If you have to use NT though, try and using Ultra Edit. I think it
costs $30 bucks.

I use Eclipse (www.eclipse.org) which has very cool support for
refactoring: I use Struts so I do more
bean coding than HTML editing and I do need support for refactoring
sometimes.
Also it has wonderful integration with Junit: I can actually test my
servlets from the IDE.
The Tomcat plugin will even edit your server.xml file (if you allow
that) and the context for your app.
The downside is that it uses huge amounts of memory (need at least
256MB) and has a fairly steep learning curve at the beginning. No
support for ssh...
And if you want to be able to start and stop Tomcat from the IDE Tomcat
must be on localhost.
If you do all of your stuff inside jsps (no servlets) then DreamWeaver
MX could be a good pick too.
HTH,

We have been using Visual SlickEdit on Linux for a few years now and we
really like it. The new version adds support for an integrated Java
Debugger. It's very nice, and very reasonably priced at $300.00. It has
syntax highlight, "IntelliSense", source code control integration, and is
customizable in the extreme. It's worth looking at.

IBM has a new editor called Eclipse. I haven't used it yet but a coworker
has.
It has a stop and start button for tomcat in it. And when you start a new
project
it asks you if you want to start a new "Project" or "Tomcat Project". And
when
you choose the tomcat option it makes an entry in the server.xml for your
webapp.
Pretty nifty stuff actually. I am a big netbeans fan but this may be a bit
better. Gotta hand it to IBM sometimes. And they give it away for free
too.

I like the combination of ANT with JEdit
(www.jedit.org). JEdit is an open source code editor
written in Java with an extensible framework. There
are many great plugins which can be used to make use
of it as a Java IDE environment.

Hi Cindy:
I've had fairly good experience using xemacs (http://xemacs.org/) and Ant
(http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/index.html). Xemacs comes with
syntax-highlighting and Java development modes (class wizards, etc). Setup
xemac's compile command to invoke Ant, and you've got a not-bad IDE, if you
ask me (They'll both run under NT as well). For developing on Linux, you
could probably keep using ssh windows, or setup Cygwin/XFree86 for X-Windows
access (I've found this works pretty well also, except that Swing GUI's over
X don't give very good performance. For server-side development, though,
it's fine).
