RE: VAJAVA vs CODE/400 -- JAVA400-L



1/ Where we can get the Patch 2 for VAJ?

2/ Since I press Ctrl + S to save changes and Bean/Re Generate Code in
Visual Composition, my VAJ does not freeze.

3/ I wish if we can have a mailing list for VAJ.  I am not sure if we can
use JAVA400 to discuss VAJ.

VAJ 3.5 Patch 2 is very reliable and robust.  For me, it's far easier,
especially at jar file packaging and deployment, than command line
techniques.  Each person has their own style, but I haven't had a single
problem with VAJ as an editor in quite some time.  Anybody who has a
specific problem with VAJ, please post it and let's see what we can do to
address it.

P.S. Please do not turn this into an IBM vs. Microsoft discussion, or even
a
"my IDE is better than your IDE" argument.  If there is a specific area
where one IDE is better than another, feel free to post details.  By far,
though, the best discussions are "how-to": if you have a problem, please
post it and we'll see if we can answer it.
