Got a Mac? Use TextMate? Try GetBundle

If you've a Mac then do try TextMate; its an awesome editor and part of my favourite OS X software. Its not a replacement for your Java IDE; but is very handy for editing everything else :). I often type this into the command line...
mate someFolderName
To browse a Java project quickly, without doing the whole Java IDE create project thing; which can sometimes take a while...

Today I stumbled on the GetBundle bundle which is a really nice way of adding new bundles. Also the Groovy/Grails bundle looks good!

    hi james,

    I've been doing this with emacs/Xemacs with xe . on my box. On Xemacs, I can open multiple folders for browsing at the same time. Can you do the same on 'mate" ?

    thank you,

    BR,

    Sure :). Just type

    mate a; mate b; mate c

    You get 3 frames each with a hierarchial drawer of each folder to edit.
