Re: Java Dev Recommendation



Free development environments are netbeans ( www.netbeans.org ), Oracle's JDeveloper ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/index.html ) or Eclipse ( www.eclipse.org ) .

Netbeans and JDeveloper include application servers, web servers, so you can deploy web applications.  Eclipse can deploy to JBoss' application server.

Databases can be MySQL ( http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html ), Postgres ( http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/postgres.html ) or Oracle 10g ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/rohrer_macosx_10g.html ) running on OS X.  Oracle may be a pain to install but digging on the net can get yo past problems.

If you have a small Windows XP PC you can use Oracle's 10g EX database which is the same, no kidding for real, as 10g but limited to 4 GB.  Netbeans and JDeveloper see it fine.  I haven't tried Eclipse on a Mac accessing it though.

Netbeans/Sun and JBoss offer portal solutions should you wish to explore that.  Although if you use any of the IDE's portlet templates it should get you code that can be deployed in any CMS supporting the portlet spec; take with a large grain of salt.

The IDE's support web services, SOA, JSF, Struts, hibernate, Spring, etc.  All have good forum support.

Personally I like JDeveloper but Netbeans may be more clear.
