Hi all. I'm rather new to the
java world and as some (or all) of us know - the tools you use on the job can make or break which technology you use, at least in the enterprise.
My company is a heterogenious environment w/ a mix of C++, C#, VB, .NET, Java, etc.
We're looking to set Java as a common language across all business units and as lead programmer, it's my job to pick the tools.
I love Eclipse, I think it's probably the best
IDE I've ever laid my eyes on. I've been using the WTP plugins and getting along...well..*okay*...but I'm having enough problems to realize that this isn't going to be a sell to my boss...even if it *is* free. It's missing enough to make it unusable in our environment - where there simply is no time for buggy IDEs.
I've been looking at MyEclipse and as far as their marketing goes...it looks to be very promising...and cheap!
Can anyone give me some good words on MyEclipse? The price is right which is what will impress the PHBs at work...compared to what we're paying for our Microsoft stuff...which is frightening.
I know there's other IDEs out there but I'd really like to stick w/ Eclipse...it's packed w/ features, free, and is quite comfortable to work with...and let's not forget how well supported it is in the industry.
Thanks!
