RE: Java Foundation Class.

["Holmes, Gordon T INT'L" <Gordon.Holmes@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've got to be honest, I've lost track of this altogether.  Originally I
believed that VAJ 3.0 did not support Java 2 at all - it was said to support
JFC 1.0.3 and JDK 1.1.7A.  To get Java 2 and Swing 1.1.1, you had to
download something called the VAJ Java 2 Technical Preview, also known as
version 3.5, from VADD.  Trawling through the newsgroups, the stability of
it sounded questionable.

The technical preview now seems to have vanished from the site, and they are
talking about something called the Early Adopters Environment for Java 2.
There seems to be entry and professional editions available.  I don't know
what this is, or what functionality it offers, or if it is the same thing as
the technical preview.  Can anyone else shed any light?

I'm currently using VAJ 2.0 Enterprise Edition - anyone know how I would
upgrade this to version 3?  Is there an enterprise edition of version 3?
What is the cost of upgrade?
