I've been heavily doing a lot of code cleaning and refactoring for these days on a not so interesting module of a collaboration product. With the help of Netbeans IDE, refactoring become much easy although it's still consuming tremendous amount of memory on Windows. All the while I had a misperception that producing scriplet-free JSP is harder than writing scriplets in it. But I was suddenly realizing that the truth is totally opposite. By using JSTL/Struts, I just can't imagine I'd ever write a single line of Java code in my JSP.
By the way, for those who find Netbeans is too lagging to use (on Windows, it works extremely fine on Unix), here are some tips which might help:
- Don't open too many projects at the same time
- Tweak the netbeans_default_options option in
\etc\netbeans.conf accordingly - Deactivate the modules which you don't need (via Modules Manager)
