    Define what you mean by “equivalent”. Do you mean whether there is such a thing as VS Java?

    I believe he’s asking for a Java development tool boasting equivalent capabilities to Visual Studio .Net, but I might be mistaken.

    The SunONE IDE is pretty good. Certainly better than O expected. Still dog slow though. Delphi 5 runs rings around it on the same machine…

    For people who just want an editor: http://www.jedit.org.

    Incredible amount of addon modules.

    the http://www.netbeans.com is very productive, but with a high learning curve. Needs help in the .jar area.

    Eclipse is good, trouble with keeping their doc current.

    Good at buildings .jars.

    All three are free.

    Plus, if you can afford it: JBuilder X is coming.

    XCode is great at debugging Java code.

    Still waiting for Code completion.

    Write it in jedit and test in xcode.

    That’s exactly what I’m asking … ;)

    Personally I like netbeans ( http://www.netbeans.org ) which comes with integrated tomcat and has a jsp debugger.

    If you’re looking for an exact clone then I think that will be hard to come by. You’d be better off listing the features that you want and then maybe I or someone else will know of a tool that sports those features.

    If you’re looking for a wysiwyg development tool then try some of these:

    Borland JBuilder

    http://www.borland.com/jbuilder/

    Oracle9i JDeveloper

    http://www.oracle.com/ip/develop/ids/index.html

    NetBeans

    http://www.netbeans.org/

    And coming soon…
