[jsword-devel] Java IDE

[Neil Short]

I'll weigh in.
I'm old fashioned. What ever happened to the plain-old text editor as a development environment.

I have developed several lengthy programs in my time of being an Java developer and I think they are pretty nice.

So when I look at code that was developed with an IDE I have trouble following it.

There's some class that extends another class; so I want to view the code for the extended class. Where is it. Well, it's in a subdirectory. But what's in that subdirectory? Just one thing: another directory. What's it it? another directory. What's in it? Ah! There's the class!

I love java; but the usual directory layout for the code is what I see to be a weakness of development. Developers MUST use an IDE! Gee Wiz.
