ARGH! Somebofy recommend a tool for me!

[BlindPete]

Jbuilder, Visual Cafe, Visual Age, MS or other.&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't need an enterpirse version, single user will do. <p> <br><a href=mailto:blindpete@mail.com>blindpete@mail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

I use Visual Cafe from time to time.. its pretty good.

Have you ever used Sun Forte for Java. It's great! But you should have a powerful computer.<img src=

Visual Cafe is good, I use it at work every single day, but it can crash a lot if you use it heavily. But you really have to use it pretty heavily for that to happen... <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=

Visual Age is pretty good, once you've got a handle on its features. There is a 'pro' edition that does not include all of the 'enterprise' stuff. It may require NT as well.

Thanks to all!<br><br>I have been alternating between using Jbuilder2 and VisualCafe.&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't really like either of them and have lately just been using the notepad and the command line compiler.&nbsp;&nbsp;My basic problem is that both Jbuilder2 and ViuslCafe hang my system after an hour or so.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have PII233 w/ 96MB and many giga's free drive space.<br><br>I figure I have set something up wrong but can't figure out what.&nbsp;&nbsp;any thoughts, tips etc would be greatly appreciated.<br><br> <p> <br><a href=mailto:blindpete@mail.com>blindpete@mail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

BlindPete, I noticed that about the IDE's for java, they seem to lock up the computer (in win98 anyway) and frankly what I wanted out of the IDE's is simple a visual GUI builder, similar to what M$ has for visual basic( I know, I know it has a large number of problems, but you have to admit that it's visual design environment is exceptional).<br><br><br> <p>Troy Williams B.Eng.<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Fenris,<br><br>How right you are!&nbsp;&nbsp;I have been spoiled by M$ visual compilers too.&nbsp;&nbsp;They are a great way to start, but once you really get deep into the language you end up writing most of it the hard way.&nbsp;&nbsp;I too wish Java had simple form builder.. I'd still write all the methods anyhow.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nitai is right about Jbuilder its close... but unstable at least for me.<br><br>Thanks to all again.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll just stick with notepad for now. <p> <br><a href=mailto:blindpete@mail.com>blindpete@mail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

BlindPete, I use an editor called editplus (<A HREF="

and I think it is great. My favorite feature is that it colorizes java keywords which makes the code easier to read and find errors.<br><br><br> <p>Troy Williams B.Eng.<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

If you want a text editor, try textpad, it has a function that finds your jdk and complies the classes for you.

 

[BlindPete]

Thanks to all again.<br><br>Tried both <b>editPad</b> and <b>textPad</b> both are usefull but I prefer <b>textPad</b> because I can complie and run apps from it as well...&nbsp;&nbsp;Also I use <b>textPad</b> for about three hours and no bomb, which is always good. <p> <br><a href=mailto:blindpete@mail.com>blindpete@mail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
