I'm using 9iRC2 right now (well, not RIGHT now, but multitasking) coding a JSP and action class. Overall, I think the IDE is pretty solid and since I use to use JBuilder 6.0, the learning curve was pretty steep. I didn't have to RTFM to use it, and that's always a good sign that a product is intuitive to employ. I have four gripes, however:
1. The application freezes unexpectedly (about once/day) and has to be killed manually. This is very annoying if I haven't remembered to save my code for the past 10 minutes or so. This happened with RC1, too. 2. If you try to compile (ctrl + shift + F9) and get compile errors, then simply repeat the compile, the IDE log window reports a successful compilation, even though you know there are checked exceptions being thrown. 3. It's difficult to compile and run JSPs within the IDE. 4. The debugger does not appear to work (could be me...). I've used HomeSite 4.5, Forte 3.1EE, and J++ (for 1.1 code - it was the best), and I think JBuilder is on the right track to being one of the best. Mark PS - you guys know I was just bullshitting you about using EMACS and vi. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Steve Muench [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 11:26 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Anyone Using Struts with JDeveloper9i and/or BC4J? With our JDeveloper 9.0.2 release nearly out the door, we are feverishly working on new features for our next release (9.0.3). One of these areas is making JDeveloper9i an even better environment to model, code, debug, profile, build, source-control, and deploy Struts applications that work with relational databases. A sub-part of this theme is making our Business Components for Java (BC4J) J2EE framework even easier to plug-in as the Model layer of a Struts application. I'm interested in (offlist or onlist) feedback in what troubles or triumphs people have had trying to use JDeveloper9i and/or BC4J with Struts so that we can fold that feedback into our next product version to polish any existing rough edges. Thanks. __________________________________________________________ Steve Muench - Developer, Product Mgr, Evangelist, Author Simplify J2EE and EJB Development with BC4J http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/htdocs/j2ee_bc4j.html Building Oracle XML Apps, www.oreilly.com/catalog/orxmlapp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
