I was wondering if someone from Genuitec can comment on MyEclipseIDE vs. Sun Java Studio Enterprise.
Sun is now offering their top IDE for free and I would like to know what features MyEclipseIDE has that SJSE does not (or vice versa).An unbiased reply would be appreciated.
Thanks

Z,
We haven’t gotten a chance to “kick the doors” of Java Studio. I do like what they have done with NetBeans and the JSF Tool so I imagine it is probably nice; give it a try and let us know what you think.I find normally when comparing two large scale IDEs like MyEclipse, Sun, IntelliJ, JBuilder, whatever where the IDEs start to shine is not in the first 75% of the race… they are all pretty much the same: autocomplete, debugging, packaging, etc. It’s the last 25% where they tend to differentiate and give you features you come to rely on: Visual designers, custom deployments, hibernate mapping generation. Stuff like that. So I think you’d probably need to work with it for about a week to see if it does what you need it to do.
Hi
Thanks for the reply. I will certainly evaluate Sun’s IDE. And yes you are 100% correct. The only way to evaluate an IDE is to use it for a while. And even then the experiance will be subjective.
I really like the MyEclipseIDE, and my company has a group subscription (6 licenses). But we are a non-profit organization and a price is always a factor for us.
MyEclipseIDE is still definatelly the lowest price leader when compared to some other IDEs but unlike the Sun’s Enterprise IDE it is not free.I will see if I can post my experience with Sun’s IDE once I get it going…
Regards

We appreciate your group’s support of MyEclipse. We also realize that every work place is different, especially in the non-profit field every penny counts.

If you see features that you absolutely love, let us know.
