You call him friend, but then you put words in his mouth and attack him for what he did not say. You're hardly his friend.
...you are presumming that yours (that of a Christian view, puritanical, police state) is the only valid point of view. Forcing Christian morals down throats is a problem, not a solution
He never said or implied any such thing. Since you're a Christian you must know the ninth Commandment "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor". What you're doing here is not only unfair, but un-Christian as well.
I suggest you approach the problem as Our Saviour would - dissuade those "sins" with kind words and deeds befitting the name "Christian".
Well your words are anything but kind. You're self-righteous while attacking someone for things he didn't say. After all of that for you to hold up Jesus as an example for someone else to follow strikes me as hypocritical.
While not really science fiction the book "Interplanetary Flight" (ASIN: 0425064484), first published in the 1950s and republished in the 1980s, presented options for interplanetary space flight that were fiction at the time of its publication.
Clarke discussed the concept of putting artificial satellites into earth orbit and suggests that while that sounds fantastic it might not seem so far-fetched if the earth had more than one natural satellite. Reading that comment in the 1980s made me realize how much our thinking has changed in the 20th century.
He also discussed at least 2 options for escaping the enormous pull of earth's gravity. One option is to use a space station as a refueling platform. The other was to use a multistage spacecraft that jettisons empty fuel tanks to reduce its weight.
Another book to check out is Clarke's "Ascent to Orbit" (ASIN: 047187910X), his scientific autobiography.
These two books probably fall under the category of futurism rather than science fiction, but they give great appreciation for his genius as scientist, writer, and futurist.
Design, process help productivity more than IDEs

Java IDEs?

You jumped from the question "How do we increase Java developer productivity?" to a discussion of IDEs. A good IDE might improve your productivity, but there are some other things that definitely will increase your productivity and should be considered before evaluating IDEs.
The biggest boon to developer productivity is good design. Do you have a design process that your developers use? A design phase is only one part of the software development process. The highest productivity and quality that I've seen in software development was at a client that required that all developers follow a fairly light weight process that included a formal design, design review, and code review. Of course the requirements were well defined and written up beforehand. That is another huge consideration.
Productivity also depends on code quality. You can't have high productivity if you spend too much time fixing bugs or dealing with a poor design. That's where design and code reviews help productivity even though they take time.
Before worrying about which IDE to use you should check out some light weight development processes, and definitely be sure that you have well defined requirements and that every developer does a good design prior to coding.

It's really very simple: I looked them up on Amazon. Why anyone would find that interesting is beyond me.
