Our management (I won't say leadership, for reasons that will be obvious to experienced IS developers) also have the belief that standardisation is good. We are having our J2EE workstations defined to the n'th degree and they will all be locked down so that you can't change anything. You can't even change your windows wallpaper!!! Our IDE is defined, you'd better like it because you can't install anything else. All in the sacred name of productivity.
Anyone else out there going through this or have advice to share? I am planning to bring my personal laptop to work to do any of my tinkering on. I like to think that my tinkering is helpful to the company, but you wouldn't think so from these new policies. This past year, I have introduced to the company's IS environment four new tools that I evaluated by tinkering with in those downtimes between projects. Specifically, these tools are Struts (hey, you know I like Struts! :-), ant, junit and Cygwin. The funny thing, to me, is that these tools evaluated by tinkering are going to be part of the new locked down standard! Gotta laugh. Simon >-----Original Message----- >From: Daniel H.
