Hello,
I'm new to Eclipse but have been using JBuilder Professional 4 for a couple
of years. I develop JSP & Java servlets and use JBuilder's internal web
server to develop my projects before putting them on a live server (using
Tomcat).
Is there a combination of tools / plugins / modules that I can install
within Eclipse to give me similar capabilities?
In JBuilder, on the Project Properties dialog Run tab, you can select
JSP/Servlet as the default runtime configuration and specify a file or class
to start with. In my case, this is default.jsp. When I run the project
from within JBuilder, a server is launched inside of the IDE - for example:
http://localhost:8080. Multiple servers can also be launched - :8081,
:8082, etc. Then I can use a browser or other program to generate http Get
& Post commands using JBuilder's server as the start of the URL. Can I do
something similar in Eclipse with JDT?
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Well JDT is 'only' a collection of plugins providing basic Java coding and
debugging support. It adds nothing special for web development to Eclipse.
They have started a webtools project a couple of months ago but there isn't
anything released yet. Never the less you might check the community plugin
directories.
You might start here: http://www.eclipse-plugins.info/eclipse/index.jsp
There are basically two well known (at least to me) plugin collections
providing all the usefull stuff about web development. The first one is
http://www.MyEclipseIde.com (which I use) and Lomboz. I think
there are some more but I wether checked them out nor add
something usefull about 'em.
If you want to check out how MyEclipseIde feels you can
watch a visual tutorial about building a helloWorld.jsp and
also debugging it. It's very informative:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/webprojectdemo. htm
The price of 29,99$ you have to pay for MyEclipse is the
fee for using it for a whole year. I think it is worth the afford.
I am using it for hibernate+j2ee+velocity+turbine and it feels
ok. There is no much fluff and I like the fast support forum.
But since I 've checked out Lomboz nearly half a year ago,
I heard some rumors recently that it has improved very much.
Therefore I suggest to check out Lomboz too.
Lomboz can be found at: http://www.objectlearn.com/index.jsp
If you 've checked out Lomboz, I would be happy if you
post your conclusion about comparing those two.
Cheers,
Martin (Kersten)
