    Default Microsoft Visual J++ vs. Borland JBuilder

    I'm used to JBuilder and when I first ventured into using Visual J++. Trust me. It was so much easier and better in my opinion. I can easily create forms and menu boxes without coding. To me, it's the best RAD software for Java. Has anyone used it before ? Let me know what you guys think.

    Correct me if I'm wrong as I've never used MS J++, but isn't it the case that J++ is NOT Java but rather Microsoft's alternative to it?

    I could have sworn that's what I heard way way back.

    Yup. It's the alternative but it sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet ;D. Try using it. That is, if you want to develop something quickly.

    Let me add to the confusion ....
    I could have sworn there was a ruling (US Court )that ordered MS to nuke their implementation of JAVA in certain cases and uses SUNS instead .... or some such thing...

    yes Visual J++ is another M$ take over the world plot. But it has it's good points still. Although it doesn't work on XP.

    GILLION is also right about the ruling. In fact the software even asks you to accept some sort of aggreement every time you create a MS-Java app. :P

    IT easy to use still - easier to use than any of the other stuff is the visual suite. In fact the .NET interface is based on it or Looks like it.

    Too bad it's dead. Makes very nice little windows (95-2k) apps. ;D

    You should try it. Although JBuilder 8 is quite the same.
