I'd go further and say that for any JSP development, JRun Studio would be a good fit. It's a born HTML editor which has been expanded over the years to support first ColdFusion and then JSP. It's tag insight/completion/editing/help and color coding are all valuable when people take advantage of them.
There's also so much more, including an internal browsing feature, toolbars for all sorts of tasks, code-generating templates, code snippets, a code sweeper, tag inspectors, built in stylesheet editor, built-in FTP client, and testing tools (spelling, HTML validation, and link checking), which are all useful as well for JSP, HTML, CF, ASP and similar development. There's also a ton of built-in HTML help, including not only all the JRun manuals but also HTML, WML, and other language references (and you can add any other HTML-based manuals that you'd like). Admittedly, it's not a very effective Java editor (though it's passable, and one feature JRun Studio has over CF Studio is the embedded Tools>Compile option). Then again, the debugging, database query, and RDS features (for remote development over HTTP), all of which do of course work only with JRun, all add to make it a very useful tool. The problem is that so many of these features are not obvious in the interface. I highly recommend any Studio owner read the available manual (Getting Started with JRun Studio). It's available in the Help tab in the resource toolbar on the left (or via Help>Open Help References Window). If you don't yet have Studio but want to read about it, the manual's not available at livedocs.macromedia.com, but see the nearly equivalent book under the link for HomeSite version 5 or "Using CF Studio" under the Coldfusion Server 5 links. /charlie -----Original Message----- From: Haseltine, Celeste [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 2:54 PM To: JRun-Talk Subject: RE: Java Developer's Journal I use JRUN Studio, but I've been recently introduced to Borlands JBuilder, which I think is a much better overall IDE. But if you are working on a strictly JRUN Server application using the JRUN Tag Libraries, JRUN Studio isn't a bad IDE. It's just not a flexible IDE when it comes to integration with other JSP/Servlet/EJB servers.
