FWIW, we've been using Together/J by TogetherSoft which is not bad (although I'm really a diehard emacs fan). They sort of integrate the typical IDE with a Rational Rose modeling tool. You write your code and they'll generate the class diag. and vice-versa. They do hot deployment of EJBs. The main problem I have experienced is that since the tool is written in Swing and has alot of graphic content, it is prone to memory leaks and is a hog in general. Also, it is very expensive, around $6K per seat. But it is an interesting concept. >From: Dion Gillard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: A mailing list for Enterprise JavaBeans development ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: IDE >Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2000 20:27:53 +1100 > >"I have used Visual Age for Java (VAJ)3.5 It is a pretty neat tool for >j2ee development." > >Which j2ee was that? >- EJB 1.0 + some EJB 1.1 making it incompatible with both >- Persistence manager with some features only deployable on websphere >- Servlet 2.2 without user roles >..... > >IBM could easily do a j2ee capable vaj........but they don't. > >other -s: >4.
