Classroom training is a hard business to keep profitable these days.  That's
why I only do onsite education these days.  But I do have a pretty extensive
curriculum, including a course on using Eclipse in conjunction with
WebSphere to develop JSP/servlet applications.  I believe this is the right
direction, because the next release of WDSC will be entirely Eclipse-based,
so you need to know Eclipse if you want to work with IBM's tools.

(Not to scare anyone - the CODE products will still be supported, but only
until the LPEX (Eclipse) editors are good enough to take over.  Visual Age
for Java is already replaced.  The only thing we're not sure about is the
future of Visual Age for RPG.)
