java developers

[jon8]

any java developers still using dreamweaver these days?  i realize the server behaviors were dropped in cs4, but just curious as many people like dreamweaver for front end development compared to netbeans or eclipse to do the work.

i guess not

The title of this forum category reads:

Dreamweaver Application Development : PHP/MySQL, ASP, ColdFusion

I didn't see Java listed anywhere in the category. Therefore your post is off topic which does not surprise me for the lack of responses.

It would be naive to think that there aren't any Java developers in the whole world that don't also use Dreamweaver. What is your realistic expectations of the topic you've posted within the Dreamweaver Application Development category you're posting in?

Perhaps if you directed your Java-specific inquires to a forum that focuses on Java development you would receive additional responses, but what you're asking here is equivalent to asking if any Dreamweaver users eat red meat in that it's irrelevant to the purpose and meaning of the specific discussion category (which is listed as PHP/MySQL, ASP, ColdFusion).

Meaningless rebuttals by you are useless to this thread and will most likely go unanswered for reasons that have already been mentioned in this post. Ask Java questions in a Java-specific forum and you may receive more desired responses related to Java development, yes?

I made the assumption that since many years of dreamweaver except for one version, cs4, supported jsp, that the application forum was still a safe place for java based application developers.  my greatest apologies to you, and all adobe forum users i have offended asking such a question.

No apologies are necessary. The title of the forum is Dreamweaver Application Development. Anything related to application development in Dreamweaver is welcome. Whether anyone is capable of answering is a different matter. The addition of PHP, ASP, and ColdFusion in the link is designed to guide questions about those subjects to this forum, rather than to the Dreamweaver General Discussion forum, where they often end up.

I left JSP and ASP.NET out of the list because they're no longer supported by Dreamweaver CS4. That doesn't mean that questions about either subject are unwelcome. However, in the years I've been visiting this forum, I can't remember more than one or two questions about JSP. From what I understand, there were very few users of JSP in Dreamweaver, which is one reason support was dropped. Another thing to consider is that anyone with sufficient skill to create pages in JSP is unlikely to seek advice in a Dreamweaver forum, but would probably go to a more specialized one. Never having used JSP myself, I don't know of any such forums, but I'm sure they must exist.

forums.sun.com offers a lot of discussion.

I was just curious to see if anyone was still developing in it.  netbeans is a fantastic IDE (especially since it's free), but dreamweaver is really the best front end development tool sold in my opinion.  I'm almost exclusively using PHP these days, but still explore asp, c#.net, and java.  Java web development makes c#.net look like a cake walk, so it's a hard road to follow, and even harder to find support and code.
