You have to look at it in a slightly different light. GUI design in java,
IDE or not, is never a joy because of the need for layout managers to
insure cross platform consistency (it works). Compared to others, Jbuilders
debugger (By the way the IDE is written in Delphi, go figure) is probably
the best (Cafe' is good too), and beats command line development any day of
the week. As far as performance goes, Java IS nearly as fast with careful
codeing (and threads) and a good JIT, especially when doing client server
work and using "thin" drivers. Unlike Delphi, Java's performance falls off
quickly with poor coding structure. Finally, if you have ever had to deploy
a Delphi Client/Server app over a large network... you would pitch it in a
heartbeat and do it in Java.
