I am sorry. I did not see this in with my mail.
JRun Studio is separate from JRun, the server. It is an IDE that was suited for JSPs. It is basically Homesite, with knowledge of Java/JSP and some other functionality thrown in. It has a cool Query builder and you can access and see your database connections, tables, rows, etc. on the frame on the left. It also had code completion, etc. etc. It was originally kind of expensive, like $500+.
In Dreamweaver MX, Macromedia decided to update JRun studio and just throw it in with DreamWeaver MX. You can no longer purchase JRun Studio separately. It is included with DreamWeaver MX. But it works out because the price of DreamWeaver is less than the original price of JRun studio by itself.
Also, I don't know if this was brought up, but did you look into Intellij? I have not used it, so I can't really give you an insight into it.
Again, sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Hi DavidPossibly, since the demo did not come with HomeSite, it did not come with JRun studio. JRun studio does have knowledge of java and jsp tags and can handle custom jsp tag libraries. It also has JavaBean Introspection. Here is one link http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/productinfo/feature s/mx/07jsp_development.htmlThanks for that link, I looked over their website and didn't find it myself. D'Oh!What I don't understand is what is this thing called "JRun Studio" that you mention (as opposed to Jrun the app server which we are not using -- we are JBoss 2.x on Solaris)? On that page it says "Dreamweaver MX"; as if that's a feature that it should have 'natively'. I could not see this functionality in the demo though, perhaps it needs to be set-up, I didn't go too much into it. Well, I pfaffed around a little with it and could not find anything that might allow me to enter the classpath to the compiled source code, or other suchlike options. There was a dialog in the editor itself, but it provided no further actual help than putting in the tags values by hand, as far as I could see. regs scot. PS Alan, I didn't see a JSP editing function in JEdit, but I only looked through the plug-ins list that comes via the plug-ins manager (Jedit v4.0). I can't see one at plugins.jedit.org either? OTOH, my apparent ability to find jsp features appears to be in a ever-descending spiral. My brain hurts. I like Jedit and all, haiving used it in the past, but ultimately it's the sort of feature I'd like to see in Eclipse itself. ___________________________________________ Scot Mcphee - Snr Developer - (mobile) +61-412-957414 ___________________________________________ Tigerex - http://www.tigerex.net - (bus) +61-2-82593613 ___________________________________________ To change your membership options, refer to: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm
