RE: VAJAVA vs CODE/400

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Shawn, VAJ doesn't work and play well with outside version control systems.
This is because it is not a source-based IDE.  In fact, a large percentage
of my classes have never been rendered as a .java file, except for licensing
purposes.  If you are required to work with an outside version control
system, VAJ may not be the tool for you.

Your other problems with VAJ may not have been VAJ, since many of us aren't
seeing them.  I don't know when "the last time" was that you tried to
install, but I haven't had any problem such as the one you are reporting in
quite some time.  If you have a problem that is actually reproducable rather
than anecdotal, please share it.  I can attest to using VAJ on a daily basis
for well over a year and not seeing any of the problems you relate.  This
may be because I use Windows 2000, which is much more stable (IMHO) than
Windows NT.  Unlike you, I wouldn't characterize NT crashes as "rare", but
Windows 2000 crashes are indeed fairly rare occurences these days.

VAJ crashes are non-occurences.

VAJ is also free as part of the OS/400 development tools these days, so if
you are developing software for the AS/400, VAJ pricing should not be an
issue.
