As Far as I know you are not missing anything. Ant is the common ground. Everyone can use ANT; even the command line commandoes so thats why is the default. Gavin Uses Net Beans as his IDE. I dont know what Gavin Uses. But in my experience 99% of people just use their IDE's as editors and use ANT for deploying etc. and NOT as shown above. Which sort of defeats the point! I will try to get this project I am fiddling with further and then supply it for inclusion on the wiki as a "MyEclipse" project. (Seam: Facelets (so xhtml and including templates, includes and even parameters!), IceFaces (partialsubmit, sorted (i.e. click the columns) paged datatable... so far) EJB3). ;) p.s. Not a sales pitch but you can try MyEclipse for free for 3 months! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4001102#...
