Great points Dave. I agree completely. I was just explaining more because Rick sound inexperienced.

Well, Rick's question was "do I need to install IIS", not "is IIS a better choice than the JRun web server for development", which is why I gave the answer I did. But going back to that, for most developers, I think that the JRun web server is a better choice, for two reasons. First, unless you actually need to learn how to manage an external web server, why bother? And second and more important, unless you can use the same web server that you're going to manage, the value of using an external server is diminished a lot. The version of IIS that comes with Windows XP is not the same as IIS on Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003.
