Netbeans Again

I’m going back to NetBeans. One year ago I ditched NetBeans and went for eclipse (partly becuase of speed, partly because of interface), but the lack of opensource simple JSP editors had made me take the decision of going back to netbeans (hope I won’t regret it).NetBeans comes bundled with its own JSP editors and built in web container...

The future is here (if you’re in Japan)

While store shopping, ever wondered how much that book, CD, gadget… cost on Amazon?

Eclipse and JSPs plugins

I’m fed up with trying to get an Eclipse plugin for JSP editing. I just want a simple opensource plugin that would help me with JSP editing.
