Please post this on the Struts User list and not the Struts developer list. My personal opinion is tha JBuilder is one of the worst IDE. Any other is better. (Eclipse.org, VIM.org, etc.)
If you like .NET, you can use .NET, no sales people here. Can Delphi or VB create a web application? Why would you change if you like them? I found the run time license cost and security concerns lead my clients away from .NET for larger sites. They like the run time costs of open source and find it more secure and reliable. If I found ASP fantastic I would use it. I find Struts more realtistic so I use it. Consider training or mentoring. .V "Expedito Reinaldo da Silva Júnior" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi, All! I don´t know if I'm asking to the right list, but I have a question: I'd like to know what's the best IDE/tool to help using Struts. I've seen some tools in the Struts resources page but I'm not impressed with them. I thought in a tool helping us to 'draw' pages with areas (tiles), buttons, boxes, etc, in a way that we can access its properties and configure its name, validation rules, default values and so on. After creating our 'views', we could make the sequence of pages, like forward and redirect pages. After all, the tool could generate my JSPs and the struts-config.xml file correctly. From the input boxes we could know what input the view need and generate the expected DynamicBeans, with the respectives validations rules (previously setted). Following this idea, I thing we can generate our Views, FormBeans (DynamicBeans) and Validations, and the ActionBean's skeleton; the user will just need to program the business rules. I've recently searched for drawing tools to create such 'framework' (or ide) and I find that MS Visio and System Architect has features that could produce this results (with use of some VB Scripts... UUhhh!). A few days ago, I've managed some training courses and I find that the big problem about the Java Language and the technologies it involves is the IDEs we have! They are very poor (I don't know about JBuilder... I know it's the best one...)!!! How can we convince VB and Delphi programmers to migrate to Java with such tools?? So, I was looking at ASP .NET and I find it fantastic (I sugest you to know and you will undertand me) and that time I thougth 'why cannot we have something like this'?? Struts is the right framework, because its MVC separation allow us to generate a tool to reach such facilities. What do you think about it????? Please help me make Java very easy besides a great language!!! I know that good Java programmers are also great experts in Design Patterns, architects and so on, but our language (Java) can really grow substancially in the world with such programmer's requisites??? Thanks all and sorry my bad english (I'm brazilian).
