Thank you. I will try to give emacs a shot. It just that I can't get used to the having to type a control-XX to do something that I can do with a mouse. I use MS Visual studio a lot so I am used to the IDE and the project explorer with all the pretty objects and their graphical attributes.

Net Subject: RE: [JBoss-dev] Source code editors Pico is a fairly easy editor to deal with, but it's assinine in its insertion of carriage returns willy-nilly, and that can get you in trouble. I haven't used Forte much...can't you edit individual files without starting a new project? I know you can in most commercial IDEs. At least, I've been able to do so with JBuilder and VisualAge. You have to fiddle with them if you want to compile under them, though...you're going to run into that with most IDEs. I guess if you're looking for a really plain editor, then use XEmacs or one of the other GUI Emcacs that have drop-down menus for most of the major keystroke combos. After a while, you get used to emacs. Really. :) ... _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
