After successful installation of tomcat and JSP we need IDE integrated development environment. These IDE provide software development facilities, help lots in programming. This IDE can contain source code editor, debugger, compiler, automatic generation code tools, and GUI view mode tools which show output at a run-time.
We suggest using, dreamweaver from adobe, or eclipse with myEclipse plugin, NetBeans from sun. Or sun studio creator from sun. These IDEs help in Visual programming
All provides, developer license and evaluation version to trial. Free IDE provided by easyeclipse.org and http://www.eclipse.org/europa/ .
