I'm just starting a JSP deveolpment (using Eclipse, by the way).

I'd like to work with a good HTML editor in order to create the WEB pages the site will have. The MDK 10 I installed has Quanta.... and Mozilla has the composer... but I find them too "short" when I think about the kind of content I want to create.

I'm thinking about macromedia here.... buut I don't think It's GPLed (I don't think it's even ported to linux).

So... what Application should I use (if it's JSP aware..... much better)?

The other thing is that I'd like to use a plugin for eclipse in order to be able to better develop the J2EE stuff. I downloaded myeclipse plugin.... but as soon as I noticed it was just a trial (30 seconds after installing) I removed it. Are there other plugings to handel JSP, XML, TLDs, Application Servers, DBs, etc?

For a HTML editor either purchase crossover office which allows you to run dreamweaver (I think it does anyway) http://www.codeweavers.com/site/products/,

or use an alternative which unfortunately from my personal experience don't come near to the level of dreamweaver. I found a particularly good editor is NVU (http://www.nvu.org) its based of mozilla composer but has a site managment feature via ftp.

As for JSP sun produce a java IDE bundled with java SDK (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html)

just code everything out in Kwrite then test it with mozila. You will learn the lang much better that way.

Well... about coding eerything by hand... that's what I'm actually doing with eclipse.... however... my fingers are raw because of typing so much.

Besides there's a lot of peaces to put together to have something working. If one IDE allows me to see my mistakes before deployment...... much better!
