QUERY!!! Which is the best IDE to enhance Apache Lenya?

Hi All,

If I download the source code of Apache Lenya, and want to
enhance some
of its features, "which IDE would be the best" for
the purpose and
"why"?

A list of possible IDEs: 
- Eclipse
- IntelliJ IDEA
- NetBeans
- Workshop for WebLogic
- Oracle JDeveloper
- IBM Rational Software Architecture
- Borland JBuilder

Regards,
- Janeve George

It's my understanding that several of the Lenya committers
regularly
use Eclipse, and Lenya's ant build process even includes a
target for
creating an Eclipse project file.

most lenya devs seem to use eclipse, so that's probably the
one you get 
the most support for. but i still haven't learned to use
it... for me 
it's still a bunch of xterms, editor windows and lots of
grep and find.

Why eclipse?
- Like Bob said we have some ant targets that making an
import very
easy. 
- I can easily debug the java classes.
- It is free.
- Has nice free xml plugins like xmlbuddy. 
- ...

I just like eclipse when programming with java/xml code.

Thanks Thorsten and Joern.

Even I am familiar with Eclipse IDE. There countless plugins
available.

Other IDEs are also not bad. On my research on the best
suitable IDE,
along with Eclipse, I found others too and most of them had
great
reviews. Netbeans is a great IDE which can be efficiently
used for
developing Swing GUI. IntelliJ is excellent in developing
Struts
application, etc...

Frankly, I am really confused of which IDE makes the
developer more
efficient (for extending Lenya).

It seems to me that most Lenya devs are using Eclipse,
whereas myself is 
using "vi(m)" and the command line in general.

But I think you should use whatever you are most comfortable
with and 
Lenya should allow this kind of diversity.

If you feel like Lenya has some specific settings which make
it 
dependent on some specific IDE, then please speak up
as quickly as you can.

I'm pretty much in the same boat right now as well. Good old
fashioned 
grep through the entire project has helped me in the past
track down all 
sorts of issues.
