Forte for java CE has a lot of great features. However, it's lacking when it comes to JSP development. It's suitable for JSP development but it could be a lot better. The java editor has completion, the JSP editor does not. The jsp editor doesn't allow you to use the java editor abbreviations (an abbreviation is typing ex then space and having the editor replace it with Exception...). The jsp compiler doesn't clean up after itself and eventually trips over it's own files (easily fixed by deleting the temp folder). The biggest downside I found was resource consumption. Forte is a major resource drain. You'll need a server class (well, server class last year!) system to run it and other applications comfortably. I expect the JSP modules will be improved over time but for a first release it's pretty good. --- Chad Boyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I use Forte for Java Community Edition 1.0.
