When comparing the powerful Java IDE’s available to developers today you will quickly come to a very short list of high quality tools. The best of these in my opinion is Eclipse. As of this writing the latest solid version is 3.0.2 The Eclipse development team takes the quality of their releases seriously. I have been very impressed by the stability and reliability of even their betas. The Java development environment is very feature rich. It comes with many refactoring and code generation tools that become second nature and will save you time and frustration the more you use them. It supports all the views that a developer would expect, such as class outlines, stack traces, ant tasks etc but none of these are the reason I would put Eclipse in a class by it’s self. Eclipse stands alone in its large number of independently developed plug-ins. There are literally hundreds of free plug-ins for supporting different programming languages, different version control systems, testing frameworks, database inspection and many many other useful operations. These plug-ins are not all open source and some are of poor quality and many may not play well with others but as the community has grown the quality has improved and I expect this to continue into the future. Click here for my favorite setup and plug-ins. If you are responsible for a development team and have a limited budget it makes no sense to spend thousands per developer when you can easily download and setup Eclipse for free. As for support, you will find that Eclipse is so commonly used that it will be relatively easy to hire developers who already know it and if you have any questions there is a large online community of users who can help. I have not yet mentioned the most important feature of Eclipse, which is the fact that its an open framework which can be used to build your own cross platform applications. There are many examples of this already on sourceforge today. Take some time to read the following article from Eclipse News, they cover this aspect in greater detail. Eclipse Evolves into Its Own Universe Eclipse is paving the way for the future! Don’t be left behind.

This article was recently published on mises.org by one of my favorite Mises.org/LewRockwell.com writers. The Mouse and the Market - Mises Institute It contains a cool story about the development of the mouse and the importance of capital but there is much more that we should be taking away from the piece. As developers we are keenly aware that our employers will not pay for every ???cool??? idea we think up to enhance our product. Nor do I think they should, In order to meet the greatest need in the market place they must balance the time to market and the number of features. I bring this up to remind ourselves that there continue to be (and will always be) great software ideas that ought to be implemented but haven???t been because of funding constraints. Think about your favorite open source project. There are probably many bullet points on the to-do list but not enough engineers to complete them so some get left undone. Not everyone has the time (capital) to volunteer to projects. Keep this in mind. It???s easy to get open source lurkers to tell the development team ???how it should be done???. It???s much harder to get them to cough up some cash or lend a hand to complete the work. This is always a scarce resource especially when compared to the vast pool of ideas that come from the human mind. Spend your limited resources wisely.

For those of you who have not tried del.icio.us I recommend you spend ten minutes with it this week. I can try to explain it but most people don’t get del.icio.us until they try it. For those of you who want me to explain it, here goes. http:\\del.icio.us (Pronounced delicious) is a social book marking system allowing you to share the ‘gold’ you have dug up from the web. After you sign up for an account (this is free and easy) you will be given a URL like this del.icio.us/YOURNAME It can be viewed by anyone but you are the only one who can modify it. When you add your favorite bookmarks you can assign tags that will be used to organize them. This is a very powerful feature because it allows yourself and other visitors to search through your bookmarks by clicking on various key words. Once you have added a bookmark you can also see how many other users bookmarked the same site and you can even navigate to their pages. You can also use del.icio.us to greatly simplify saving important links if you have multiple computers between work and home or you use both Firefox and IE. Del.icio.us combines everyones bookmarks into a very large index on their main page, this is often fun to visit just for the thrill of finding unexpected things. The site helps form a strong sense of community that reflects the spirit of those on the internet who believe in sharing. It is apparent from most of the bookmarks that del.icio.us currently has an abundance of technical people as regular users. This should not discourage non-techies from trying it out. Go for it.

Jonathan Z of NuclearElephant.com has written an excellent article on what not to do as a member of the Open Source community. We have all been guilty of these undesirable behaviors from time to time but it’s important to recognize them in ourselves before we drive our favorite project into the ground. Jonathan, BTW has a cool spam blocking project called DSPAM which makes use of bayesian content filtering and noise reduction. Along this same ilk you should read Eric Raymond???s, how to ask questions the smart way.
