The whole comparison of AJAX and Java EE is absurd. The 3.0 version of Java Enterprise Edition is going to be successful, better late than never. This what the community of enterprise Java developers, thank you Sun for making it happen!
It is great to see Sun open-sourcing their enterprise IDE ("Sun Java Studio Enterprise"). Now I can design/develop/debug/test my enterprise applications, web services and portal apps all in one environment!
There has always been need for a great open source UML modeling tool, hopefully people will start designing 'more' with tools like this readily available. Other tools experience:
I used to like Visio for its ease of use to draw up anything but I never liked the fact that it has no support for Java data types and its inability to generate Java code.
I love and still use Eclipse but it doesn't support enterprise/portal application development. Tools such as Rational Application Developer from IBM can be used but they cost a lot, so much bloated that not many people can use it because of its poor performance.
ArgoUML is good but not very polished. Not easy to use especially in a team environment.
Thank you Sun for helping the developer community.
