Re: MyEclipse 6.0 Released - Spring/JPA Integration, Java 6, Eur
Congrats on this new release! :)
For beginners the "Rapid Java EE Deployment and Testing" feature is really nice. I heard lots of absolute beginners always complaining that setting up a Java EE project takes so much effort compared to PHP. They have to install Java, Eclipse, MyEclipse, Tomcat, some DB, figure out what the web.xml should contain and in what directory it should be, etc.
(of course, with PHP they also have to install Apache, the PHP interpreter and MySQL, but for some strange reason that never seems to count)
With this new MyEclipse feature however, absolute beginners can just download the all-in-one installer, lets the wizard create a new web project and instantly run it. Very nice!
Sadly there are also some downsides, although it's not really the fault of MyEclipse. The JSP and JSF editors are -far- below par. After so much time, the JSF editor still doesn't recognize basic things like dynamic attributes in taglib tags or the variable introduced by a standard JSF tag like f:loadBundle.
Also, functionality like ctrl-clicking on a managed bean to bring you to its definition is painfully absent. Auto-completion of EL expressions works though, so the editor -is- EL aware.
Like I said, this isn't the fault of MyEclipse since they have to rely on WTP. Implementing those features I mentioned above would be a waste of effort if WTP implements them later on. I wonder though if Genuitec can't cooperate in some way with the WTP team; implement the missing features and donate these back to the WTP project.

Re: MyEclipse 6.0 Released - Spring/JPA Integration, Java 6, Europa
Arjan, thanks for identifying enhancement features for the Visual JSF editor. To put your "disappointment" into perspective, the MyEclipse visual web editors are extremely powerful editors with WYSIWYG support and provide developers a productivity experience. Considering that we consistently improve these editor with each release, e.g., we release approx 4-6 updates/yr, you can look forward to further advancements in the near future.
Looking at the big picture of this major release, MyEclipse 6.0 is now on Eclipse 3.3 with a 100+ new features. As the feature list indicates they range from AJAX features to innovative Spring-JPA support, include a new 1-click Java EE app launcher and an all new open-source Examples On-Demand facility. Examples On-Demand is a new portal that Genuitec is developing for hosting how-to Java EE and related technology example projects that run in MyEclipse with zero setup/config and can be checked out using a preconfigured MyEclipse 6.0 CVS connector.
Also those interested in using NetBeans Matisse on Eclipse can now install Matisse4MyEclipse into any Eclipse 3.3 SDK without preinstallation of the full MyEclipse IDE. This is the first in a series of upcoming releases that will improve the modularity of MyEclipse for better profile based packaging and end-user customization.
Lastly I'm pleased that MyEclipse pricing is still the same $29.95 for the Std subscription and $49.95 for the Pro subscription including unlimited support. Few products can claim their price as a user-centered feature, except those trying to upsell you to an expensive server or support agreement. We can make the claim as we have never meddled with pricing programs or increased our product prices since their first releases 4 and 2 years ago respectively.
Regards,
Wayne Parrott

Good and Bad
Just to air out the laundry, MyEclipse does have some issues where things aren't clear when generating classes in say Hibernate, and sometimes it doesn't do what it should. However there are sooooo many features and supported tools, and the tools are exceptionally well done.
At the price, there is no reason why anyone wouldn't just snag a copy of it. I love and own a license to IDEA which I used for most of my coding, but I use MyEclipse to build items like pages and hibernate/spring configs. It definately gets you moving fast. Oh yea, the server support is pretty stellar as well.
Congrats on the release guys. Going to download now. :)

Where's the maven support?
I feel like a broken record saying this over and over, but seeing Wayne is reading this, maybe we'll get some results.
When they support maven, every developer in my company will want to buy a copy. You can't argue with the price or value, especially if they offer a launcher that actually works (unlike WTP, who's tomcat launcher fails so frequently I cannot use it).
The price is great, I'm also very happy they support Linux. Maven support seems like low-hanging fruit. Once I can use all of the features within maven, I think MyEclipse would be a very compelling product for maven users.

Would there anything speaking against adding the already existing eclipse maven plugin to your installations?
After all the core still is eclipse. I usually add subversive and a bunch of other plugins to my install.
