Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

JBuilder Foundation was written by Java developers for Java developers. Featuring a responsive and feature-rich editing environment, rapid compilation using an advanced dependency-checking system, and an intuitive debugging environment, JBuilder Foundation is designed to deliver sophisticated portable code.

The AppBrowser makes managing hundreds of packages and thousands of source files easy. The CodeInsight technology editor, integrated seamlessly into the source code, automatically looks up classes, methods, and parameter information as you type. JavaBeans can be used in our visual design environment without introducing proprietary tags or preventing manual changes to your code. The debugger uses the new JPDA technology for a robust debugging experience on a standard JDK. The latest Java APIs can be easily integrated into your development environment. And JBuilder project files can be shared with users of the commercial JBuilder family on Solaris and Windows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice IDE, fast and stable, April 9, 2001

By 

Clodoaldo Gonzalez (Germantown,MD USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Borland JBuilder 4.0 Foundation (CD-ROM)

Besides it is a very lightweighted Java IDE (it runs and compiles really fast), it also comes with a lot of nice features; the debugger is superb, since it is compliant with JPDA architecture it makes you able to debug remotely...even along high-end application servers (p.e. WebLogic). User interface is also intuitive and very customizable since allows you to define your own JDK configurations and running schemes which is a vital requirement for the professional developer. One of the things I am most impressed of, is about the fact of the setup bundle is available for three different platforms: Solaris, Linux and WindowsNT/2000...in all of them it just works smoooothly :) and even you projects can be shared and imported between all of them.

Yeah! it is good

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but expires too soon, May 5, 2001

A Customer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Borland JBuilder 4.0 Foundation (CD-ROM)

This is good software, but it expires too soon to be useful to a college student. I have two weeks in the semester left, now I have to use notepad and compile in jdk 1.3 because the Enterprise trial version expired before the semester was over.

Why can't companies like Borland offer free trial versions of their software that will work through the entire semester for college students? A semester is not 60 days long, it's longer. Companies could ship the software with textbooks and it would be free advertising. As soon as the student gets a good programming job and can afford the real software, they'll buy it.
