Integrated development environments (IDEs) are like Swiss Army knives: They include tools for nearly every software development task. Like a Swiss Army knife, an IDE may be adequate in some circumstances. However, a well-stocked toolbox is needed to handle the full range of enterprise development challenges. In this Application Platform Strategies overview, Analyst Joe Niski describes the range of features in contemporary IDEs; examines the current IDE markets for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition and .NET; and outlines considerations in selecting IDEs and stand-alone tools.
