JavaWorld editor’s Java IDE choice threaded conversation - let them know you use JBuilder
Have your voice heard. Take a minute and tell the editor and readers of JavaWorld that JBuilder is your IDE of choice by posting comments to the informal survey thread on the JavaWorld forums. Go to
http://www.javaworld.com/javaforums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=98484
and leave your comments.
Athen O’Shea, Editor, JavaWorld.com posted the original message to start the thread. The discussion is attached to the recent article, by Andrew Binstock, comparing Eclipse v3.3 and NetBeans v6.0.
In 2007, JBuilder was named the Best Java IDE by InfoWorld Magazine. In the article, Andrew said, "I found a very smooth, very robust IDE with many innovative features. It’s safe to say that CodeGear decided to throw everything it had at this release - and succeeded brilliantly, …JBuilder feels solid throughout - a remarkable achievement given its status as a first release on Eclipse."
Learn how JBuilder saves time and money over other Eclipse-based IDEs at http://www.codegear.com/article/34209/images/34209/Java-Productivity.pdf
