The other I saw a posting asking for an IDE evaluation; however, I can't find it anymore.
A few days ago, I prepared such a sheet and I would like to post here as an answer to your query. Here it is:
IDE Editor Evaluation-Oct.2.05
File Server \\586\E\Data\Java-doc\*.*
----------------------------------------------
Best #1: TextPAD : - Good for WIN-98 and WIN-XP
- to create and edit programs � good
- to print programs : good but black only
- to see Line numbers > go to View > Line numbers
- You can even print programs with line numbers
in black only
- To Compile: Go to Tools> Compile (Good)
- If it compiles, program shows up on screen
- If compile does not work: you get �Printable
Command Results�
- To RUN program: Go to Tools> Run Java
Application
or Run Java Applet
- For difficult �Copy/Paste� in Websites with
Netscape: very good
- Under File> Manage File: you can copy, delete
or rename a file
#2 : Netbeans 4.1: - to create & to edit programs
- No �Save as� available, which is rather
annoying
- NetBeans 4.1 is good for WIN-XP, but not for
WIN-98 (too slow)
- Good to print programs in color with line
numbers
- COMPILE and RUN are good
#3 ConTEXT: - Good for WIN-98 and WIN-XP
- To create and edit programs (�Save as� is
available)
- To print programs in color, with \\AMD +
Networked \\586
-For line Numbers: Go to Options>
Environment.> Editor>Line #
-Line numbers are only available on screen,
not for Print
-Drawback: no COMPILE nor RUN available, use DOS-BOX
#4 : DOS Box or MS-DOS Editor for LFNames = to Compile and RUN programs: good.
