Code completion is not that great in Xcode yet. If you're doing java then for now I'd recommend eclipse ( www.eclipse.org )
The ADC web site says I don't have permission to download 1.5. Oh well....
I've been trying on and off for the past hour or so. I got that permissions error but kept trying and after several attempts finally got in. I was hoping at this hour (5:30 am EDT) that traffic would be light.
CMoney,
Don't shell out money for JBuilder. Eclipse is much better, and its price can't be beat--it's free!
I'm still trying to download XCode 1.5. I'd love to see a Mac-native IDE that's at least approaches the functionality of Eclipse, but I'm not holding my breath for now.
Ooh! It adds! I've been waiting for that feature FOREVER! No more subtracting negative numbers for me! Thank you Apple! :D
(There's an extra comma in the second sentence, for the humor-impaired)
Does Eclipse have a GUI builder yet? I don't want to type 20 lines of code to add a single button to a window. Nor do I want to type out a layout with Java's stupid layout scheme.
Could not download with Safari after logging into the adc site. But if you log in with mozilla then you can download the xcode segments. Its been like this for a while...
No, Eclipse doesn't come with a GUI builder yet. There may be plugins for that, though. I work server-side, so I'm a bit out of touch with what's available.
Well, as far as programming editors go, jEdit still can't be beat. Of course, I'm writing PHP, not java, so there's no GUI-building features I'm missing by using jEdit or anything...
The extra-cool features of jEdit:
Syntax coloring, code completion (with appropriate plugins), brace matching line in gutter, indent collapsing, abbreviations dictionary (code snippets), etc etc etc.

java code completion?
ok, i just installed it and have been wanting code completion so i don't have to shell out for jbuilder on the mac. i guess it kind of works, like it'll finish variables that i've declared myself. except, does anyone know if it can show a list of available methods? like typing "String." should show a list of the methods available for String. is that possible yet on XCode?
