I have been following this discussion with much interest since I recently set out to re-evaluate Java IDEs - particularly for J2EE. Based on the recent JDJ poll located here:
http://www.sys-con.com/java/readerschoice2002/liveupdate.cfm?cat=J2EE it would seem that a lot of folks like JBuilder. But this may just be a marketshare estimate and it looks like a lot of folks on this list like IDEA. We've been using JBuilder 4 Enterprise with mixed feelings and are looking at upgrading to JBuilder 6. Can any of the IDEA proponents out there summarize the major advantages of IDEA over JBuilder 6 (say professional edition since the upgrade is a comparable price)?

Hmm I'm loving idea, but it costs $ - I wonder what happens when the trial expires... Nag or just doesn't work? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Gottfried Szing Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 6:55 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: Java IDE?
