Join For FreeWhile registering for a major upcoming Java developer conference (hint I: SF) you are prompted to answer several survey questions.
Have a look at the following question:
" * What development environments do you use? (check all that apply)"
| Borland JBuilder | Eclipse |
| Emacs | Microsoft.Net |
| Microsoft Visual Studio | NetBeans |
| Oracle Application Express | Oracle Business Intelligence EE |
| Oracle Forms | Oracle JDeveloper |
| Oralce SQL Developer | Other Java IDE |
| Other SQL Editors | Quest Software Toad |
| Text Editors | N/A |
What's missing here? Maybe just the best Java IDE; JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA! Snub, oversight, or cosmic misalignment? No sweat either way, I am just sharing what I came across.
By the way, can anybody name the conference registration from which this question appeared (hint II: September 19-23rd)? We will be sharing more details about our attendance shortly.
Stay tuned...
Update, August 27th:
IntelliJ IDEA is now available as an option in the list of development environments on the JavaOne San Francisco registration survey.
