I normally use Eclipse, but when looking into servlets
I thought it would be simplest to use Java directly,
at least to begin with.
I find Eclipse has several drawbacks -
eg, the editor that comes with it seems to me to have serious faults,
so that sections of the source programs are likely to disappear
into a black hole.
But it also has advantages, particularly in debugging,
and for me these just about outweigh the disadvantages.
I looked at Maven very briefly, but it looked excessively complicated to me.
But I am not a serious Java user,
