Feed Description: Opinions and tips on how to build web applications using Java. Currently using Hibernate, Struts, XHTML, CSS, Ant, JUnit and XDoclet.
The W4T Eclipse product looks pretty cool. However, the demo seems to imply that you create web apps using INNOOPRACT's web framework. While it looks useful - who in their right mind is going to develop webapps based on some company's Java framework when there's over 30 open source ones out there? Would you want to tie your application to the success of one company?
W4T Eclipse seems to be based on Yoxos. How the heck to you pronounce that?! The good news is that Yoxos is only $20 whereas MyEclipse is $30. Both are cheap - if they work well, why not have both? Note: it doesn't look like Yoxos works on the Mac (MyEclipse does).
Anyone worked with Yoxos and know what plugins it bundles?
