Comments on: I haven’t typed an import statement in over a year http://madbean.com/2003/mb2003-25/ Do not adjust your TV Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:22:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Glen Smith http://madbean.com/2003/mb2003-25/comment-page-1/#comment-64 Glen Smith Wed, 18 Jun 2003 07:11:05 +0000 http://madbean.com/blog/2003-25#comment-64 <p>Timing! I pickup up my copy of the Pragmatic Programmer on Monday (which I ordered about four weeks ago). I'm only up to chapter one (but I did glance across that tip about editing). Even though Eclipse 2.1 is my main IDE on Win32 & Linux these days, I've actually started using jEdit as my general purpose editor (ie. text files, XML, perl, php, shell scripts). Does everything I want (on both platforms), has some wicked-cool shortcuts, and has syntax colouring for just about anything I've even heard of. The idea of knowing one editor really well (as opposed to just IDE) is still a cool idea worth exploring, I reckon. Ditto for the shell.</p> Timing!

I tried to show you the JDEE package about 2 years ago. That said, I would take Eclise/IDEA over Emacs these days. The refactoring support is the killer difference.</p> Matt, you were never really a power user of Emacs. I tried to show you the JDEE package about 2 years ago.

also, i3sp has an ant task for creating jdee project files (http://sourceforge.net/projects/i3sp-build)

not having to deal with import explicitly really is a great thing…
