More Java Tools...

Over at the InformIT Java Blog, Steven Haines discusses some New Java 5.0/1.5 Tools, as discussed here.

While many of these are experimental and Sun warns us that they may not be available in future releases, these types of tools will make debugging Java applications much easier, some of them seem like the tools already under Linux and other Unices. Some of these tools already come in some form with IDEs, but this will definitely make them more available when the IDE is unavailable.

I welcome them, even if many of them are not yet available under Windows and are experimental. This supports the idea that Java is, once again, a growing language.
