Maybe it's just that you hate Eclipse for some strange reason. As Patrick says, giving examples in Eclipse is not so bad.

*But*, a book should avoid leaning too much on an IDE, because it will spend too much time showing screenshots instead of teaching the framework. But that's not about Eclipse, or IDEA, or anything. It's just about focus.

I haven't read Kent's book, though. Just bear in mind that there are several kinds of beginners. Maybe a 20 year old computer science student already know how to run Eclipse and Tomcat, but doesn't know how to use Tapestry.

No, I am not against IDEs, I love and use them, but technologies and development techniques should be IDE agnostic and easy to use without them. And it is double bad to promote Eclipse IMO.
