Java reccomendations
The project that I'm working on is going to have a rather aggressive
schedule, and wil involve a GUI on Linux. As I've never done a GUI,
but have heard that Java has become a real language, I'm nominally
planning on doing the software in Java. As of yet, I've not written a
line of Java, but from what I've read it doesn't seem too difficult to
learn if you already know C.
One of the other engineers is concerned with being able to learn
everything in time to meet a rather aggressive schedule, and has asked
me about Jave IDE's. I know that there are several out there, but I'm
afraid that the closest I've come to using an IDE lately is running
make from within emacs.
If you have any reccomendations for IDEs to use (or avoid) I'd greatly
appreciate the benefit of your experience.
For learning Java, I've been reading O'Reilly's Java in a nutshell and
bought the 3 book tutorial from Sun. Again, reccomendations, or
warnings are appreciated.
