This morning, I occasionally came accross another interesting IDE
mede by Omnicore named CodeGuide 2.0
It is not a tool for developing hight quality GUI applications as it
does not contain a GUI builder.
It seems to be my IDE of choice as it holds a project manager,
class browser editor and debugger with a few nice addons, like
keyword completion in addition to those standard features (syntax
highlighting, etc.).
I have taken a look at a whole lot of different IDEs as I tried to find
one which is not heavy bloated and supports my coding, instead of
delivering a big GUI builder with thousands of wizards as primary
feature.
My needs consist of a good editor, a class browser, file/project
management and a debugger - this tool seems to have exactly all
of this.
And better: It comes as a Linux tgz file with jre 1.1.7 included,
though it supports development of 1.2 applications and applets.
My suggestion: Run it with the supplied 1.1.7 jre ( a shell script is
included) but setup the 1.2 JDK as development environment.
It is available via http://www.omnicore.com
