I recently started working with an EAR & WAR provided by a partner and noticed that two wonderful things happen in their projects that don't happen in our own projects that were imported from a vendor package.

First, JSPs have Java syntax smarts, autocomplete, etc. In our projects they're just dumb text files.

Second, Servlets redeploy when saved. In our projects we have to stop and restart the server.

I suddenly feel like I've worked the last year or two with one hand tied behind my back!

What did these other projects do right that we did wrong? Can we bring our projects into the current century, too?
