Ditto. I think it's very cool that Apache Struts links to several alternative products directly from our home page. Besides Tapestry, many people might also want to look into Apache Beehive, Apache Cocoon, Jakarta Turbine, Spring MVC, and Wicket. I also hear Stripes is quite good. Then do like Mario did, pick a small workflow from your project and take the contenders for a test drive. Don't rely on the advice of strangers: Try it for yourself. [Yes, being a stranger to most folk here, I get the irony of that statement :)] One conversation we've had time and again on the Struts Dev list, and that I've seen many other people have elsewhere, is that there are no "one size fits all" framework solutions. A professional picks the right tool for the job. For some jobs, people might not even need a framework. Now a days, the stock Java JSTL and JSF implementationss are very powerful, and for a smaller application, they might be be all anyone needs. Of course, this strays from the original question, which was about IDEs. Personally, I like IDEA quite a bit. The Tomcat integration is excellent, it's easy to start and stop the container without leaving the environment, and the console window saves me the bother of pouring through the logs. And don't get me started on the JUnit integration :) -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
