moving from aspnet to jsp..



hi all...

i have an upcoming project which is mainly based on consuming
webservices and displaying data on screen.

initially i thought about doing it in asp net becouse it would fast
drag and drop controls, auto web services proxys etc... however when i
begun reading on upcoming aspnet 2 changes i got angry becouse of the
planned changes seem to radical for (and obselete the current version),
i'm against novelty only when it invalidates my current work, i don't
want to create something that would not comptabile or work right in the
next version..

i talked to an expirienced person in asp net and he said that if i want
maintain my code i should "drop" the drag drop features (as in manually
write code to insert controls)

"hey i don't asp net for that, i could use java which does not change
so rapidly..." he agreed.

so here i am using eclipse reading "head first jsp and servlets" (1000
in sales rank in amazon couldn't be bad right ? ;) ) as well as
javaServer Pagers developer's hand book at my side , and i find myself
looking for a jsp plug-in for eclipse (like the rest of the planet
evidently) something that doesn't take java expert to use , but allow
me to use a debugger and wyiwyg feature i found so comfortable in VS
2003.

i saw lomboz, but it stated that it's not beginnhers, nitrox looks nice
but i don't know anything about either of them.

so i come here.. any suggestions?
