right! if you do not need a full-blown IDE I recommend JEdit in particular, because it is written in Java itself, therefore looks the same on any platform - I need that because when I hold Java lectures I go there with my notebook (which runs Linux) and plug it in to the beamer. the client machines used by the people participating run some flavour of windows 90% of the time. before, I used some editor from the Linux KDE-desktop and the participants had UltraEdit on their machines. and you bet, after 5 minutes someone would say something like "uh... I can't find that button/menu entry/feature/etc in my editor..." ;o) with the plugins (Java related and others), JEdit is a nice development tool. and it shows that apps written in Swing do not have to be sluggish and slow... -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
