RE: VAJava???

["Eyers, Daniel" <daniel.eyers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My understanding is that IBM gave some VAJ code to eclipse.org

The key concept with eclipse is that it is an ILE looking for a language.  In 
other words, it provides ILE functionality
regardless of the language.  The first language they implemented is java but 
I've seen plugins for COBOL, C, and perl
around the web.  It does not look like VAJ, the interface is different but 
since eclipse runs on the JRE (instead of
hiding it like VAJ) you choose what JDK you want to use (in fact, you could use 
multiple similtaneously).  You could
also write COBOL programs using the same interface.

if you haven't seen it yet, the web site is http://www.eclipse.org  Might help 
explain it better than I ever could....

Thanks for the input, Dan, but I was under the impression that eclipse was
just going to incorporate VAJ. Is this not the case?

Chris,

I really dig VAJ but IBM seems to favor Websphere studio (powered by
eclipse).  I'm still using VAJ but I have
downloaded eclipse on my home PC.  It even runs in Linux....  However, at
this point in time, I prefer VAJ.  IMHO, it'
hard to go wrong with IBM.... (Of course, I never owned OS/2)

Hi all,

I'm going to stay out of the heated battle of RPG over Java.... See what you
started, Chris? ;-)

Anyway, we're going to be using Java for some of our applications in the not
too distant future and I was wondering what the tool of choice is for Java
developers on the AS/400. Originally, I thought VAJava because it's big
blue's, but now I'm hearing stories that IBM may not support it in the
future. This may be way off, and if it is I'd like to get some feedback on
it.

Thanks  for your input.

Chris
