agreed with this. We ditched MyEclipse around 2008 as it was plagued with issues: too bloated (memory intensive), slow, and crashed often.

We used plain old Eclipse and have not looked back.

As others have stated, you can get your hot deploy feature back by either using JBoss Tools or JRebel.

I was also a MyEclipse user since 2005 and I decided not to renew my license that expired on novembre, the causes where many, like the ones you pointed out before, but main reason was that actually, Netbeans, intellij and even stardard eclipse installation offered almost the same functionality that this offer right now.
So, I just going to say: Thank you MyEclipse, and so long.

I started using ME close to its initial debut, but stopped about three years ago. I became tired of the upgrade train that was required to fix problems/bugs, and/or maintain compatibility with the newer eclipses. The net effect too many times was I had to change my project to fit the IDE. That, and like the OP said, I burned more time than I care to admit trying to figure out why ME was hosing my workspaces.

If they kept it simple, or offered a buffet style selection of services (I don’t want the kitchen sink), I might have stuck around.

How about JRebel? Use that with your webserver and you don’t need to recompile the classes – hot deployment.

I’ve used it for years against Tomcat, Resin, Jetty – but with IntelliJ IDEA. Now really, if your life depends on programming you would not pay $250 for the best IDE out there?

I cannot stand Eclipse period. Try un-installing mylin.

I too have used MyEclipse since 2005 but mostly for the “MyEclipse Database Explorer” plugin. And as you’ve noted that every release (which is always 2-4 months behind an Eclipse release) is getting more difficult to maintain a stable workspace.

At least with the Eclipse update manager and they way MyEclipse has been partitioned I can simply pull out the pieces I need; namely the database explorer.

I do realise that the majority of these plugins are simply enhanced open source products but I haven’t found a database plugin to match the changes MyEclipse has done to SQLExplorer.

Jboss developer studio is the best I use Jboss tools only but.
Eclipse 3.5 + WTP + Jboss Tools(For JSF, richfaces , facelets, Hibernate tools) + Subclipse + m2eclipse = No problems for 0$.

Haven’t tried recently but used to work pretty good. Their xml editor was pretty cool.

Does Eclipse.org 3.5.1 suffer from these problems?
