Well for the past week I have been using IntellJ IDEA to build a Struts/EJB application. And as far as coding in it, I really like it. No more do I have to code import, setters and getters, if I implement an Interface, the
IDE will provide the skeleton of the methods for me. There is also the auto-completion and intellisense. I like that. Adding packages, classes, interface, etc are easy as adding a directory.
I haven't gotten to the build or deployment portions to work with
JBoss and Apache or
Ant, and I am using ObjectRelationalBridge,
Struts, maybe Velocity, so I don't know how the deployment will work. I am sure they have it set up to work very easily, I just doubt I have things configured correctly to make it a smooth deployment my first time.
I have tried Eclipse before and they have some great features, I just couldn't figure all the feature out, and I left my job, which had the computer that had Eclipse on it.
