Anna: You need to edit things such as build.cmd, build.property, and build.xml. Since these are simple text files there should be little if any issue. ...and if you have a Braille display, the format of an XML file should be a piece of cake.

Now I need to move to the real environment, and this is where the problem with IDE comes up. I'm not sure which app server they are using. It should not be a problem, because all servers are accessible from the internet. Please tell me, how accessible ANT is. Is it not based on the command line?

On the other hand Weblogic is my server where my .ear is deployed. I seem to remember that you had the Glass Fish server at one time or another. Again with servers, its more the configuration of them then the real every day use of same.

Will it make my web applications compatible with the ones created in IDEs? I would like to learn one environment and then stay with it. Do you think ANT will do it for me? If so, would you please advise me on how to learn it fast.

We work on the same apps so I don't know why your people would say such a thing as the IDE's are not compatible, but then again I don't use automated processes while developing opting to code by hand.

If a team member needs or is required to de-compile the .war or .ear file then your development infrastructure needs much analysis.

David is right, I do use automatic features of IDE, mostly because it's more accessible. Web project in IDE consists of application and system files and folders in a precisestructure. Each project also has a deployment descriptor that contains the information about this project. Both the file structure and the deployment descriptor are IDE specific. Once WAR module is created it can be executed on the server regardless of which IDE it was created with. But when another team member needs to do a maintenance on my application, he needs to decompress WAR module and this is where the problem is. I'm looking for something like a conversion program between different IDEs.

I was confused that the IDE would make so much difference. Of course, I didn't ask him about the accessibility of NetBeans. He probably wouldn't be much help with that issue, but he did have a question. An excerpt from my e-mail to him, and his reply is below. Would you mind trying to answer his question? Thanks, Pamela -----Original Message----- From: William & Pamela [mailto:pmcoats00@xxxxxxx] David, I was reading some e-mail I got from a listserv for blind users, and one of the e-mails said that her office is requiring her to use NetBeans instead of Eclipse. She said that they told her that web applications built and deployed from Eclipse are not compatible with the ones created from Netbeans. I wouldn't have thought the IDE would make that much difference. Does it? Thanks, Pamela -----Original Message----- Pam: Not so much the way we do it, but some people make considerably more use of the automated features of the IDE, and that might be what she means. You could ask, if you wouldn't mind - I would be interested in the details of her opinion. It is for precisely this reason that I don't use IDE "features" - they result in inconsistent code, which in the long run (maintenance, I mean) results in lower productivity, whatever the temporary gains.
