Re: IDEs

TextPad is all I've ever needed for the past 3 or 4 years. I started with
Visual Cafe before that.

I tried Eclipse a few months ago, but after using a simple text editor for
so long it just felt too bulky. If I were doing GUI programming, I'd
probably use an IDE -- but for servlet and JSP development, I prefer
TextPad, an ssh connection to my server (SecureCRT), and ant. It takes me
about 5 seconds to upload a new source file and type:

ant deploy

If you're not using Jikes for compilation, you should give it a try. I
switched to Jikes last year and the speed increase is pretty amazing. I
think it also gives much more descriptive information on errors.

My $.02...
