Even so, a purpose built IDE is much better than a generic editor.

With jEdit, Atom, or any other GUI editor, you *STILL* need a workstation ... why not do the hard work on a workstation (which is going to be faster) with an IDE that supports immediate compile, syntax checking, context hints, debugging, etc.

Add to that, if someone has RDi for RPG, Cobol, & Cl development ... they automatically have a very rich Java development environment.

IMO, there's no way to justify doing java development directly on the i if you have RDi (or just about any of it's predecessors).

I'm riding 615 miles (Yes, you read that right) in the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure to raise money for diabetes research, education, advocacy, and awareness.  You can make a tax deductible donation to my ride by visiting https://lsteml.diabetessucks.net.

See where I get my donations from ... visit https://lsteml.diabetessucks.net/map for an interactive map (it's a geeky thing).

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
