If you want a pure OOP invironment. Give Visual Age for Java a look. I
started out
using Visual Cafe 2.5a. Then after a couple of frustrating months switched
to VAJ-2.0.
Like anything else it has its pro/cons. The pros are that it is a pure OOP
environment,
it treats projects,packages,classes,methods as objects. The notion of a file
is
non existant in VAJ-2.0. I like this concept of not having to be concerned
file
organization. Incremental compilation. Compiles happen when the code is
saved.
and only the most recent snippet is compiled into the rest of the code.
Class
definitions can be edited independantly of the methods for the class
respectively.
It has built in version control. You can export source in several ways. As
java
files,as an VAJ-2.0 repository of as a Jar file. Exporting in repository for
is
especially nice if there are others developers using VAJ-2.0 in a team
environment.

The cons. VAJ-2.0 is tightly integrated with its own JDK. In this case
JDK-1.1.6.
Also IBM has not made any announcements concerning when JDK-1.2 will be
supported. So.
If developing against Java-2 is the priority. Then. you may want to consider
one
of the other environments. For myself. I would much rather have something
stable
than somthing new. My 4%
