Regarding Eclipse, no actually, I download the standard version then add
the subversion plugin. That's all.
And I can download versions of Netbeans and Eclipse that include Java if
I'm not mistaken.

The point folks, is that integrated is, or isn't, and we're getting away
from an 'integration level' that is useful.
I'm trying to point out that there was a reason IDE's were create.
And when you require a lot of customization, or additional software,
then you are NOT integrated.
It's about that simple. If you integrate, then do all of it, or at least
provide wizards to help with the 'extra installs'.
If you don't do either of those, then you aren't integrated.
As usual, thanks for listening, and the feedback.

Take care,
Kurt
