Re: DO I need a Java upgrade? (Answer yes but ... )

Yes I use Windows when I have no option Richard - WDSC/RDi being one of those cases. But the VM is never as good/fast as the native OS so I try to keep everything native if I can.

One of the big problems I always had with windows was the slow down and decrease in reliability as more and more stuff cluttered up the registry. The few things I have running in Windows work quite well right now so I don't want to mess it up.

Jon,

I haven't been following this thread, but don't you run Windows on the
Mac in a VM or via Parallels (I think that's what it's called) ?

To me the benefit of integrating Windows natively into the MAC would
allow you to run the Windows version of this stuff.

Just curious as I have a developer friend who works with Mac/Windows
quite nicely side-by-side.

I am using a Mac Pete.

I just went back to the CE area at Cafe and it says you _have_ to have
1.6 - not 1.5 - which I'm sure is what the pre-req said, and what you
are using.

Anyway - the Mac has 1.6 - you just have to change the preferences to
make it the first in the selection list. I made that change and it now
works a little bit better - but the editor tabs still don't show -
there's just a big white "blob" at the top. Double-click the .eglbld
file and the tabs all appear - but click on the EGL editor tab and the
white blob is back.

I also updated Eclipse with all of the latest available fixes - but no
difference.

I have finally managed to wrangle my IBM id. into submission - but of
course now I'm 6 hours in and no more "play time" left. I'll post on the
CE forum and see if they can help.
