We were using VisualCafe 4.0 enterprise but had to buy JBuilder 4 enterprise
for JSP debugging, something lacking in VisualCafe. If you have web tier
components (JSP, Servlet, HTML, XML, JavaScript...) in your project,
JBuilder is your best tool.
VisualCafe suffers from the same drawbacks VisualAge for Java has, as
pointed out earlier.
