Out of curiosity, do you use usually emacs for J2EE code?
I am an emacs user, but have been doing some J2EE stuff for the last few months, and have been getting really annoyed by the IDE's lately, and I was wondering if it was a wise choice to go with emacs for Java too.
I don't build J2EE apps; I just break them. We built our own code reviewing tool internally, which is what I use now, but I spent a few months reviewing things in Emacs deliberately once I learned about hi-lock mode.
I still do all my real dev in Emacs and have more than once put hi-lock to good use there.
Indeed. Java is only different from the rest of the world if you use Eclipse and think its defaults are sane. For everyone else, you write some sort of build script that builds your project, and that's as easy to run from Emacs as it is from anywhere else.
