Chapter 3. Java Tools
One
of the nicest things about Mac OS X is its very broad range of tools.
The Classic Mac OS platform had many software development tools, of
which the most popular and flexible was Metrowerks CodeWarrior. The
release of Mac OS X, however, has broadened the range of available
tools tremendously, and a large set of Java- and Unix-based tools is
now available. Mac OS X also ships with Project Builder, an
integrated desktop environment for programming in several languages,
including Java.
It's worth taking the time to review the various
tools. If you're an old emacs
or vi hand, you'll be able to
access those tools (just fire up the Terminal). Even if
you're an emacs or
vi addict, you still might want to browse
through the tools just to get an idea of what folks are talking
about.
