Borland's JBuilder 3 - Any Good?

[Jason Teagle]

I currently have a freebie version of JBuilder 2 from a cover CD, but it is a twitchy program. It crashes quite often (when my screensaver kicks in, when you delete lines created by the window designer sometimes, for example); the window designer suffers some update problems, which can only be resolved by switching to the code or another file and then back again; I get weird messages about not being able to find source files by adding the filename to the root directory, even though the file clearly IS in the directory it names, and the program runs anyway...

As a competitor to Microsoft's J++ I would have hoped for a more stable and robust program. Is JBuilder 3 any better?

Hi,

I used Jbuilder 2 at May and I use JBUILDER3 since June for a Java application. I find it very good.

For refresh, I use 2 computers, I have some problems in first but not in the second(even if the first is more powerful (video, ram, ...) ). I can't explain it.

JBuilder 3 is a very good RAD which help you in a lot of case. I have never use Microsoft's J++ but Im' sure that if you use Jbuilder3, you will program very fast.
