Re: Experienced RPGLE developer to finally learn Java

oh wait... i can't bring myself to buy a book when so much online.

What IDE are other IBMi developers (with rpg backgrounds) using for Java on
an i framework?

Does RDI provide opportunity? Is visualAge just out of the question these
days?

As a small intro, I have been on the IBMi platform (and predecessors)

for

well over 20 years now.
I am very proficient at RPGLE and DB2 SQL.
I understand ILE concepts well.

I am looking for best online resources to begin learning java on the
platform.

I began looking at visualAge but it appears it is no longer supported

and

was wondering if RDI is an adequate IDE for java on the i.

I best learn by example and comparing an rpgle pgm to a java pgm example
would be most appealing.

I appreciate any guidance you can provide.
