[jsword-devel] Java IDE

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hey Guys,

Sorry for this slightly off-topic email, but since JBuilder folded I've 
been lost.

I have tried and tried and TRIED to like Eclipse, but after years of 
trying, I'm giving up.  My conclusion is that Eclipse barely functions 
when I finally get all the disparate pieces and tools updated and 
configured how they're supposed to be.  It's sad.  It's a great concept, 
but in practice, it does not compare to a commercial tool integrated and 
packaged by a single organization-- which I fear is the same for our 
software sometimes.

But anyway, I'll end my rant and reflection at that.

Can anyone suggest a new tool for me to try?  I'm considering NetBeans, 
only because I know of no others.

Thanks,

	-Troy.

PS.  Usage, and what I miss from JBuilder: JSP editing/debugging, remote 
edit via scp, database aware swing components, gui wysiwyg swing 
editing, jar application packaging (dependency slurping to single jar), 
vi editing!, and of course I'd like to have a nice js editor, but 
haven't ever seen one in the wild.
