Java Development Tools

Which is the best Java development tool for servlets ?

Inprise's JBuilder

Symantec's Visual Cafe

I am working my first Java project and need help.

Thanks,
Mike Payne

i've used them both. for servlets, either one is fine to get started, but
you will soon need to get completely away from the IDE once you run servlets
of any complexity. best start by creating a solid logging system...

I've tried out them all. Forte, Visual Age, AnyJ - you name it.
My preferred choice, now for almost a year is Free Java or RealJ as it is
called now.
it's small, fast and functional. Take a look at www.realj.com.

You can jump start the logging and other server side foundation level development
and get right into application logic:

You might want to have a look at the **open source** Expresso Framework available
at www.javacorporate.

It offers logging, connection pooling component, as well as security, access
to databases, email connectivity, job control, health check, event notification,
database objects, configuration values, and access to other server-side components.
