What is Eclipse, WTP and Lomboz.. ?

Hi..

Friends I am very new to all t his J2EE, can any one what is the differnce between Eclipse, Web Tool Platform and Lomboz eclipse.. ?

What should I use to develop J2EE applications that includes JSP, Servelets, Htmls etc...

Currently when I use Lomboz eclipse 3.2 I am not getting support writing for Html / Jsp.. like I get support for html in Dreamweaver...

Are seperate plugging required with Lomboz for that type support ?

It would be nice if any one can help/guide me on this issue...

Eclipse is an opensource IDE for Java: http://www.eclipse.org

WTP is a Eclipse plugin which eases developing Java EE web: http://www.eclipse.org/webtools

Lomboz is an all-in-one solution, Eclipse with WTP preinstalled and some extra stuff: http://lomboz.objectweb.org/

You want a visual editor (a WYSIWYG editor)? Get the MyEclipse plugin.

thanks once again...

I wil download that.. rather started that "MyEclipse_5.5.1GA_E3.2.2_FullStackInstaller.exe".

If its a Visual Editor then its more better I think, then why is that not popular as 'Eclipse' and ... like in lomboz I do not have to install anything for servlets and jsp and yes Struts ... is that same for Myeclipse or do I need seperate intallation for all that... ?

A source editor is to be used by real developers who can write and understand real code themselves.

A visual editor is to be used by lazy and/or dumb developers who can't code themselves.
