Why JEdit when you've got eclipse?

Not sure why anyone would want to use JEdit as an IDE when you've got eclipse...

... we can talk again about eclipse, when they implemented it with Swing, killing this silly and counterproductive SWT thing. It is a shame, that IBM supports something small-minded like this. Look at Swwing in 1.4.2, it is nearly impossible to see that this is not native, no need to introduce a forking !

There is some overlap, but they are very different kinds of editors. I use jEdit for quick and dirty edits to classes, xml editing, jsp web site content editing. Eclipse is much better when just working with plain java code (better code completion, refactoring etc).

I'll start using Eclipse more when it gets out of the "Build All" mentality. There is no way to say "yeah I know these other classes don't work yet, but let me just compile and run this one"

Also, Eclipse currently sucks for JSP development. If you have an test instance of tomcat running in the backround, its more productive to preview in browser from the ProjectViewer Plugin and have that file launched against the web server(see project propropties) than any functionality
eclipse currently offers.

With Eclipse, I can launch tomcat, but there is no way to individually select a jsp file to run. Suppose someone wants to test a section of a website, but there is no link to it yet.
