What integrated development environments (IDEs) can be used with ArcGIS Engine 9.3.1 for Java and .NET?
ArcGIS Engine supports and integrates with Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. The ArcGIS Engine Software Developer Kit (SDK) for .NET includes a number of commands, wizards, and templates that can help you create projects and classes to develop ArcGIS Engine applications more efficiently. As a Java developer, you can use any IDE to build applications based on ArcGIS Engine—Java; however, Eclipse 3.2 or 3.3 is recommended. The ArcGIS Engine—Java SDK provides Eclipse plug-ins, which offer an enhanced developer experience through templates, code snippets, and project wizards.
