I am interested in using the approach of prototyping in Jython and then extending performance bottle necks in Java. The problem with this approach appears to be that when moving to Jython I loose so much of the tool support available in Java. What advanced toolset support is available for a Jython/Java combination that integrates into a nice cohesive environment without sacrificing too much functionality in one language or the other? Areas of interest include UML, editing coupled with UML (think TogetherJ), solid graphical debugger that can walk though Jython/Java combinations (preferably remote as well as local), build system(ant?/make?), unit test frameworks (can xUnit be made to easily cross Jython/Java boundaries?) and application servers. The jython web site list different tools available but fails to provide much guidance as to which tool combinations work well together.

For the math nerds you need a copy of Numerical Recipies in C, and Numerical Recipies in Fortran 90.
Everyone is going to knock FORTRAN here, but for numerical algorithms its great. Just don't try to do anything else with it or you will suffer.
