Here are some ideas about the development environment we discussed on the hangout:
IDE: Eclipse works, it's not my choice, but it works and JBDS has some great
extensions
Issue-tracker: Honestly not sure. JIRA works alright, YourKit is very good. Unfortunately
there isn't a good OSS issue tracker that I'm aware of
Static analysis: sonar and co work very well, however, findbugs and PMD have issues with
EE especially around serialization
Testing: Certainly the Arquillian universe. I think instead of plain unit tests we should
push BDD ala spock. For support I believe Arquillian and Byteman make a great duo.
I'll have to think about some others, but those are the initial thoughts
