A question for users of JPad and/or JCreator
Posted by MacLEW [send private reply] at December 03, 2002, 09:37:29 PM
We are attempting to do a comparative report between two popular Java
IDE's - JPad and JCreator, and we need opinions of Java programmers on both of them. Please help us out by giving your opinions on one or both of them - In particular, we would appreciate your opinions (rate from 1-10, and add insights) on the following things: -the text editor (syntax highlighting, search/replace features, auto-formatting, etc) -debugging tools (use of jdb or other debuggers) -project management tools (templates, class/file views, etc) -configuration (simple? customizable?) -any other features you find useful (API lookups, code completion, etc)

I only used Forte, but a while ago, and didnt real program any with it.

I've used Forte and JCreator, I prefered JCreator. Never used JPad. TextPad is something you should look into also

Could you please elaborate on why you prefer JCreator? Perhaps you can rank the criteria listed above. Thanks for your response! :)

I think I tried JPad once or twice, but I didn't like it. Why I can't remember. Think TextPad and your in the picture.
(/me does all* programming in textpad - * for all intensive purposes)

"for all intensive purposes"
I thought the saying was "for all intents and purposes"?

It is.

I use textpad too. Though I've never used JCreator or JPad so I can't compare, nor have I done any Java programming for about a year now.
- It has powerful (and simple to use) syntax highlighting and has alot of pre-made syntax files already available on the net. - It is very easy to integrate with almost any compiler or debugger (console ones are particularly easy because the output can be re-directed to TextPad) - It has a hex editor built-in - It has a character map built-in - It has a document selector to navigate documents/files - It is very easy to customise and has alot of customisable features. - Its cheap (though not free unfortunately) I use it for programming C/C++,PHP,Java,XML(XHTML/CSS/etc) and FLASH mostly. The only thing I'm not sure if textpad has, is macros/ add-ons, which I think almost all source-code editors should have nowadays. Since, this allows users to create anything they feel is missing in a text editor (such as project management tools, configuration, API Look ups, Code Completion, template files, etc)

I use TextPad for all programing except Java, I do Java in Eclipse because it does auto-complition.
