Tired of Eclipse

code should be designed in such a way that it should not build if it is in error
And how on earth do you enforce that? e.g. Code to multiply two numbers (Admittedly a very simplistic example)
int x = 3; int y = 4; int z = x + y; // incorrect operator, but will still compileStep through that in a debugger, and the error will be immediately obvious.The situation you have described is caught with Unit Testing and Test Driven development, not the debugger. And my build script is setup to make those appear as build errors.

Yes, unit test will tell you something is wrong, but unless you write test for every line of code I don't see how you will know what exactly is wrong in situations that are more complicated than simple

And what about debugging?

I'm getting more and more annoyed with Eclipse as a Java IDE. Anybody got any recommendations for IDEs that they like better, and are free? I'd be happy to use a non-free one, but I know I'm never going to get a PO from work to purchase something.

Your post reminded me that I have Sun One Studio on my system, it is built on NetBeans so it is probably slower and bloatier, haven't used it in yonks so I decided to fire it up. After loading, it went into the usual check-for-updates routine, and informed me that the SunOne Update Server was unavailable. Hmmm, anything to do with Oracle, do you think?
