I am using Forte for java  as the IDE and Together/J for modeling.
 
Ok as far as know these are my considerations for an IDE.
 
I need auto code generation ( Together/J will do that)
 
I need auto completetion ( and all other stuff (like auto indent,auto format,auto doc..etc..you need in
an IDE) and forte will do that better than any IDE I have used.
 
I must be able set break points in the beans I use ( in the JSP's) , break points in normal code and
also break points in the EJB's . You can do all these things using remote debugging .
 
I need the IDE for free( sorry .. my school wont effort it )
 
For other needs like loading,reload,unloading,editing deployment descriptors I use the tools provided
by the Appserver vendor( Inprise got a really cool console for that)
 
As a final note .. I see many vendors saying that you can't debug the EJB's if the version is not
an enterprise (like Forte ,Jbuilder and others..)Dont believe them. If you can do remote debugging ..
you can debug any thing ( start container in debug mode get the agent password ..and for jsps start
the webserver in debug mode and get the agent password..it works ..it works for me..)
 
 
Sesh
