If you need to have an IDE, it has to be Eclipse for me, I use it
Windows and Mac (10.4) seamless integration with CVS. It's been a
long time since I looked at CW, but Eclipse is certainly better than
XCode for Java development (IMHO). I don't think it's ever crashed on
me either.

I have used CW (currently version 8.1) for many years (even back to
Think C). I have mostly done my Java development on a Win2K PC and
all in all CW has been very stable and useable. Recently I moved my
dev environment to CW on Mac OS X and while this has proved to be
useable, CW is pretty fragile. Typically I have a number of crashes
per day per day and source files that mysteriously become read only
unless I quit CW and restart. I would like to move to 10.4 but I'm
concerned about CW becoming even more fragile. In my limited
testing of CW under 10.4, I did experience some crashes as well as
drag and drop of files into the project no longer working.
Questions:
1) I don't see anything at the Metrowerks web site about updates
for CW 8.X for either platform. Does anyone know if anything past
8.1 exists and does it work under 10.4? It looks like Metrowerks is
out of the CW business.
2) Metrowerks does have updates for CW 9.0 for Mac OS but don't
appear to actually sell the product anymore. Does CW 9 allow Java
development under Mac OS X? Any experience under 10.4?
3) Do the other CW users recommend an IDE that would be a
relatively painless transition from CW? I tried Xcode and that was
anything but painless and went right back to CW. Ideally a
replacement IDE would work on both Windows and Mac OS X and have
hooks into CVS. Ideally, I wouldn't go broke doing this. A free or
cheap product would be great but I'm willing to spend the money to
get something that works and isn't too big of a culture shock from
CodeWarrior.
Thanks in advance,
John Osborne
