Although Mercurial (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi) is rather new product, its approach is very interesting and promising. Unfortunately, it lacks support by popular IDEs.

Issue Tracking

Definitely the worst piece ever for tracking issues. A team using StarTeam is either stuck in company bureaucracy, or lacks good people who understands that tools evolve.

I've been in the same situation. Luckily we had a manager who understood the costs of it.

Polls

Hey, there are 3 votes so far for "other" CI systems - which ones would they be? There are twenty or so CI tools listed at codehaus, but how many of these are really widely used?

Case Studies

I would like to throw in my thoughts for what its worth. I am a fan of what the maven folks are trying to achieve. However, its greatest promise is also its biggest liability, and obstacle to adoption - the REPOSITORY! If you're working on a simple java application with no web components and no database access it's GREAT! It simplifies project set up, takes a lot of the labour out of the build and offers automation, reporting and other goodies. But if your trying to do a Web project with java technologies, e.g. el-api.jar, many other components (e.g. Icefaces) your in trouble!!!

Perhaps if there was a major vendor pushing the tool and the concepts (Sun perhaps?) then there may be a wider adoption. That would be great.

I'm not proposing that maven2 is the only (or the best) option, but if the major hurdles to its use in anything other than a trivial application were overcome, (the repository again) it could end up as the best game in town.

Thanks to the guys at Interface 21 for finally getting the SpringFramework included in the maven2 repository.

Cool Tools

I noticed in the testing section, you aren't mentioning SOAPUI (soapui.org). This has become an invaluable tool in our box at work.
