If you expect to use more than one of those platforms it may be worth learning an editor that is available for all those platforms. I'm pretty sure both of the one-true-editor are available for all those platforms, with and without GUI trappings. -- RGB

Rubbish. Should they unpack every jar they move across and see if it has text files in, so they can convert them? Should they then have to magically re-sign any sealed packages whose contents have changed? What they should do is just use a text editor which copes with all three line endings. Plenty do this. tom -- IMPORTANCE MEMO: >>> WHEN YOU BUY AN N-GAGE QD <<< PLEASE, please CONTINUE TO TALK ON THE SIDE!!$ Note: the other party will not be able to hear you, BUT WHO REALLY CRAPS A THING, SIDETALKIN' 2009++!!!

True. But some people (eg me) find them both horrific. Still, if you don't, definitely an excellent option. And one should know at least one of them (in particular, vi) anyway, for times when you don't have a GUI. As i mentioned above, jEdit is cross-platform. It runs everywhere java runs, and since we're talking about an editor for java development, that would seem to be sufficient. tom -- IMPORTANCE MEMO: >>> WHEN YOU BUY AN N-GAGE QD <<< PLEASE, please CONTINUE TO TALK ON THE SIDE!!$ Note: the other party will not be able to hear you, BUT WHO REALLY CRAPS A THING, SIDETALKIN' 2009++!!!

(not that most people actually use any non-ASCII characters anyways, but Notepad works fine if they do...). but, we all know CRLF is the proper cross-platform line ending, since after all, it is used by Windows...
