I recently took on a consulting assignment with a number of front-end
technologies like struts, html/css, jsp and some other backend
technologies like hibernate.   I want to settle on a single IDE and am
trying to decide between the latest Intellij IDEA or Eclipse enhanced
with MyEclipse.   I'm been mainly a serverside guy and need to get up
to speed quickly with the front-end stuff.

One thing I keep hearing of is how intuitive IDEA is, but whenever I
got stuck, the manuals seem woefully lacking.  For instance, I
couldn't figure out how to create a deployment war with a custom
directory structure.  In MyEclipse, it was basically how you
structured your folders under the web context root.

I don't mind some learning curve just want to know whether one has
clear advantages over the other.
