MyEclipse 7 was recently released. Why might you give it a look? Of course, we have many reasons we think MyEclipse 7 is the best choice, but admittedly, we‘re a little biased. :-)
So, let's put some hard numbers to MyEclipse, picking just ONE feature that raises a lot of customer eyebrows: hot-sync server deployment and application debugging.
MyEclipse allows you to deploy to an embedded Tomcat server, run/test/debug your app all in real time. No stop-start-stop-start-debug-stop-debug-start behavior. We have had customers say this behavior alone can save their developers over an hour per day just waiting for server reboots. At that time cost, the savings are about 250 hours per year, or about seven work weeks. Now I don't know about you, but that's a lot of time I would rather developers spend coding, not waiting around.
For you visual types, here‘s an estimated cost savings chart:
average developer salary (USA)
$70,000
corporate overhead/benefits/taxes
$30,000
total company cost per year/developer
$100,000
total company cost per hour (100K ÷ 52 ÷40)
$48
avg hours/ day waiting on servers (based on feedback)
