WDSC Version 6 status. (was Outline View in Projects Perspective)

Hi Mark
If you think V6 is tough you should try V4 (which I could not even 
install).
I dont use WDSC beyond source editing RPG and debug.
I dont even edit CL or DDS, although the code DDS editor is great (IMO).

Some guys who post to this list are modifying WDSC function (I believe 
this
is possible as the code is Open Source (not sure about this)).

Others push WDSC to the limits of its functions, but I have found that any 
JAVA
app tends to die if pushed. Seems to me OOP has issues, performance being 
one
of them. I just cannot imagine needing 1000 million bytes of data to run 
anything
but in general the couple of JAVA based apps we have need Gbytes of 
memory, as
does WDSC.  How the JAVA guys manage to write any business apps boggles my
imagination.

Still for the simple things  V6.0.1 is stable enough for me to edit and 
debug 
but I still use green screen for cmds etc.

I've noticed that the "vast" majority of posts to this list are what I 

would

consider, "WDSC is giving me this error?" where as the other lists posts 

are

more technical questions, along the lines of "How do I do this", I was 

all

ready to give WDSC a shot but since joining this list I've backed off for
now, until I can get 2-3 weeks to devote to getting it running it
appears............

Does anyone have problems refreshing the outline view while in the

Whenever I try WDSC grabs virtually all my memory and locks up my
system and never completes.
I end up having to kill everything and reboot.

And not to start a flame but for WDSC t be at version 6 with all the
issues that still remain seems crazy.
It operates more like an RC or a 1.0 at best. I would surely hate to
think that PDM and SEU were removed
and I was forced to use WDSC for everything. Especially since it
contains no way to run interactive
commands or programs and no way to design screens or printer files.
