Borland Software's JBuilder 2005 Enterprise gets very good marks and is available in Foundation, Developer, and Enterprise editions. Foundation is free an docmpetes with NetBeans and Eclipse. The Developer edition has tools that support JavaServer Faces and the new lang features of J2SE 5.0. The Enterprise release, which is reviewed, has the most features. JBuilder 2005 Enterprise is an all-Java integrated development environment (IDE) written by Java developers for Java developers. Support is provided for EJBs, Web services, eXtensible Markup Language (XML), mobile, and database applications development. JBuilder 2005 Enterprise, which is priced at the high end, provides built-in support for Java 5.0 (previously called JDK 1.5), new source-code audit and security audit features, the new CaliberRM plug-in, and UML code visualization. The user interface is savvy and attractive, as well as fast and responsive. Windows are customizable, generally via drag-and-drop. Usability is enhanced with automated features, such as the ability to automatically adjust a cut/pasted code block with the proper level of indentation. Support is provided for distributed refactory so that developers can save refactorings to a file for sharing or for application at a convenient time. Support for XDoclet is limited, and support for Web application development is more extensive than for JSPs. Many Web frameworks and libraries are supported, including Struts/Tiles, Java ServerFaces, Cocoon,a nd taglibs for Crystal Reports Engine and JSR168 Portlets, and the Java Standard Tag Library (JSTL).
