Re: choice of IDE

I use VAJ EE and I like it a lot- I don't like some of the code that the
visual builder creates but you don't even need to use that if you don't want
to. The debugger is excellent- you can change code while debugging. I have
heard that the other IDEs are way behind in comparison. The drawback is that
if you want to always be using the latest JDK then VAJ takes longer to
support because of tight integration, but this has not been a big issue for
me.
