JBuilder X (on PC, Mac and Linux) understands Struts. Makes life a breeze to be honest. I believe this only applies to the Developer and Enterprise editions, not Personal.
We've been with JBuilder from version 2 and JBuilder X is by far the best (quite rightly). A free 30 day trial can be download from Borland at www.borland.com. Christopher PS. I don't work or get commission from Borland ;-). ---- Original Message ---- To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "McCormack, Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 27 May 2004 10:02:42 +0100 Subject: RE: Are there any IDE's that understand Struts tags? I have had problems in the past getting a "web developer" from a number of design companies that a. understands what struts/jstl is b. understands how to change html not using DW with no reworking by a java developer of any tags after the redesign In my experience it has been easier to either a. provide a static screen in Photoshop to the designer for building up in a gui of their choice. A java dev then needs to insert the jstl etc in to the page and ensure it still maintains the design/layout after dynamic elements have been added. b. get a java dev that has the ability to rework/create the html inside the jsps to the required design. a. is easier up front but more work in the long run as it involves a lot more work for the java dev (especially if you are using tiles). b. is more work at first but works out better in the long run and has more benefits. There has been mention of a struts gui editor on this list before. You may want to check the history for the threads with struts+gui or struts+ide in them. I personally use JDeveloper+Ultraedit32.

Folks, I am developing a J2EE server using Struts. The JSPs will be constructed by a web developer who is used to DreamWeaver. I imported the Struts tag libraries into DW, but the "design view" doesn't work. He cant layout the pages visually. Is this a limitation of DW? Are there any web IDE's that understand Struts tags and allow a design view to be used?
