I use both Eclipse and WSAD, and sadly I only utilize the base 25% of the functionality. Lets talk only eclipse: how much of the functionality is absolutely essential to J2EE development? How much of the core engine is devoted to other things, like Ant and CVS?

Thanks!

Michael,
The core eclipse (without plugins) doesn't do J2EE. It does do java; do you mean that?

I think there are free plugins that come with Eclipse that can enable ant etc. There are other plugins that can help with weblogic server intrgrated into your ide.

hmmn... now that I take a closer look, I do see that ANT is an external tool. Also, did you mean that eclipse stand alone is strictly a java tool, but via plugins is J2EE capeable?

Thanks all!

"did you mean that eclipse stand alone is strictly a java tool, but via plugins is J2EE capeable? "
Let me qualify that. Eclipse (for java, as opposed to swapping in another compiler is a java tool. While you could do J2EE without any plugins it would be a nightmare. Technicalities aside, I agree with this comment.
