Which is the best free ide/plugin for struts2?
- by Shahensha
Hello friends,
I have just learnt struts 2 and now I have taken up a full fledged project in it. I learnt the basics of struts 2 in Netbeans with it's struts2 plugin. But I am not at all happy with it, as it is very basic and I end up doing most of the work. It is obviously better than plain-vanilla text editor, but still not at all near to what netbeans provides for springs and hibernate. I know because netbeans provides native support for springs and hibernate, it is meant to be better.
I don't mind changing my IDE if i get better support for struts2!
So my questions are
Please list all the free IDEs where native support for struts2 is provided. And if possible please compare them.
Please list all the plugins that are available for eclipse for struts2 development. I have heard there are better plugins in eclipse.
Also, if there are better plugins in any other IDE (other than netbeans or eclipse of course), please list them giving links.
Please give me some tips which I'll need before starting a full blown project in Struts2. I haven't worked on any project on Struts2. I have just finished reading Struts 2 in Action of Manning publications.
Thanking you in advance!
regards
