Re: Re JBuilder

[Philip Jordan <pjordan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Depends on the version of Jbuilder. I have found Jbuilder 1.xx -- Pro to 'bloat'
the code. However, using the Sun JDK instead I get much better performing code. 
I
also reduce the number of potential problems by removing Jbuilder from the 
'mix'.
Look at your imports. Try to only import what you need. Instead of import
java.io.* use  import java.io.DataStream.*. I realize the IDE is wonderful, but,
we aren't getting to the 'write once, run anywhere' goal with Jbuilder.  I
haven't had the chance to try Jbuilder 2.0, so I can't help you there.

Kawa is  an interesting IDE. Try to get the eval copy at
http://www.tek-tools.com/kawa. This allows you to use the Sun JDK. Problem is 
the
AS400 is only supporting up to version 1.1.4. So Swing classes aren't available
to you (yet).

I have never seen any of our code take too much resource from the 400. However,
we use JDBC to get to the data, and SQL to retrieve and update to DB2/400.

Cheers!
