Have you seen the new
Weblogic Workshop released with Weblogic 8.0? Are you impressed by the flash
demo, cool graphics and seamless BPM workflow visual editor based development?
I've
just had quite a discussion with some of my companies product management
people. It was suggested we ditch the open source and open standards based
stuff we're using to build a major web application for a big customer we have,
in favour of this new workshop and BEAs
webflow technology. So right now we're using Eclipse for development, Struts,
Tiles, JSTL and EL. Hmmm, let me think about that for just a nanosecond - no
way dude! First of all, why didn't they just build on Eclipse? Why reinvent an
inferior, Swing-based (barf) IDE wheel? And all this jpd stuff is totally proprietary.
Even if BEA push to standardize some of this it'll be years before there are
other implementations (and it'll be different). I just can't see too many
people ditching Eclipse and best use open source for this. I guess BEA have
deep pockets, but I think this is a mistake.
