Re: Is anyone out there?

Don't waste your time on Cafe Lite. Check out Visual Age for Java. The
entry (professional) package is selling almost for pocket change, and it
really seems pretty robust. I can only compare it with Visual Cafe 1.0,
but of the two, VA/J is certainly superior. VC 2 is out now though, and
the Symantec product works well too. I haven't used J-Builder, but I
have used Delphi, and from that I would suppose that the Borland product
is probably worth a look too, since they have some really nice software,
IBM has been working with Borland and J-Builder has some AS/400 specific
stuff available. I hear that parts of J-Builder may end up in VA/J (or
maybe it's the other way 'round).
