My impression is that VA for Java is really a very mature product. Its
components have been around for some time and include pieces from VA for
Smalltalk & VA for C++. I've not seen anything yet that doesn't work as
advertised. The way it sets up a minimal app for maintaining a DB2/400
table is pretty neat. Just use the data access tool.

I think the main issue is Java, not this tool.

BTW, there's a set of very fine ScreenCams at
<http://www.software.ibm.com/ad/vajava> the I looked. They show you how a
Bill Hahn navigates the product, and they are very helpful, IMO. A fairly
hefty download but worth it.
