Hi, WAS is not famous for being an easy platform to develop for if you're not using RAD. Any hints or tricks to do so with netbeans, eclipse, idea, emacs/vi/ant ? Is it even possible to develop the application on top of - for instance - tomcat and then deploy it with confidence to a WAS - 6.1 - server ? Thanks.
A:
As long as you build your web app using the same versions of your WAS environment (jre/jee/etc) it should work.
MyEclipse has a version (Blue) that has full websphere support. It isn't free but it looks pretty good...

Does it set IBM's JDK as runtime ?

I think you would have to specify it manually by telling it to use the JVM of your websphere install. I confess I have not tried this at all but it should work, possibly with additional environment set up. You might want to post a question on the myeclipse support forums...http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewforum-f-1.html

MyEclipse Blue 8.5 onwards is good option as RAD replacement. WAS 7 DE is free from IBM, so MyEclipse Blue+WAS7 DE is a killer combo. You will save 90% of IDE cost.
