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).
