RE: Is anyone out there?

[Phil Jordan <pjordan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!
        Yes, unfortunately 96mb/RAM is really just bearable with Jbuilder. 
However, I have a p-133, if you are in a p-166(or better) you        will not 
see the odd pauses if your app(or the debugger) is running. I run Client 
Access(which is another memory 'hit'), and my         AS400 is a S20-2163. When 
I get results from the 400 they are very quick. I have to put special print 
statements in my Java     code to make sure commands/pgms complete properly. I 
have worked with other Borland products(Paradox 4.5, 5, Delphi,    C++) and 
really liked those products. Jbuilder is just a bit immature, and I anticipate 
the next release will be the usual quality I    expect from Borland.
        
        We tryed Café, Visual Age for Java, MSJ++, we use the Sun JDK for 
sanity checks. VAforJ looks like a good start(for IBM),       but, it was hard 
to use other packages with it. None of the other products use as much RAM as 
Jbuilder, but, they do not try to         do as much as Jbuilder either. I had 
a tough time taking MSJ++ seriously. I won't say more because I do not want to 
be caught   in the crossfire.
Cheers!

Speaking of which... are the memory requirements for other JAVA development
tools as massive as they are for Borlands JBuilder?  Although I have yet to
work on it, I understand they recommend 64-96MB of ram.
