Re:

I tend to agree. I use Symantec's Visual Cafe for all of my Java
development. Visual Age is a robust IDE and may be appealing for things like
team development. One of my biggest problems with VA is the quality and
quantity of the code it generates. For example, if you place a button on a
form using the GUI designer, you have to call an IBM generated method just
to get a reference to the button. As a result of things like this, the class
files end up being much larger than if you coded the thing by hand or with
Cafe. Of course, that's where tools like JAX come in, but that's another
thread entirely.

I could probably live with just about any of the big IDEs. Knowing and
understanding Java is the main thing...the rest is easy.
