Re: what tools do you use for programming

[Peter O Ludke]

SuSE sells a Linux port of Suns Java Workshop development environment
for about $100 US .  It's the best Java IDE I've seen for Linux.  The CD
comes with Solaris and Windows executables and they include a diskette
with a patch to create a Linux version.  Unfortunately the debugger does
not yet work under Linux, but the GUI Builder is great, however it does
not deal well with Swing components (they work, but with some caveats,
see  http://access1.sun.com/workshop/jws20a/jfc_swing.html ).
Hopefully they will provide an update to correct this behavior.
