A simple search on the internet using a good search engine is sure to provide a lot of tools for Java XML development and for the tag libraries. You can go for the open source and free tools available on the internet if you don't want to spend on these tools. However there are also commercials tools for this purpose.

Eclipse and NetBeans are among the popular tools for Java and XML development. If you are looking for an excellent tool for working with XML, XSLT and Schema then you can use XMLSpy also. You can integrate XML Spy with these IDEs.

Syntax color coding and intelligent code completions are some of the features that most of the developers look for. However compiling and running the program from within the IDE is provided by default in these tools.

For developing applications which work with a server like web applications, you can choose the web server in which to deploy the application after it is developed and compiled.

These tools provide a way to develop your applications and debug them in a professional way. So it is better to switch to using such tools if you are still developing your Java based applications using a simple text editor.
