This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
While I can enjoy your enthusiasm, could you perhaps tell us a little more? What do you like about it in particular? In what ways is it better than other IDEs or previous versions? What sort of projects are you using it for? Thanks.
I share his enthusiasm. The ability to browse to class definitions using ctrl-enter, to view references to a given instance or class using ctrl-shift-enter and the ability to automatically open a class definition by name using ctrl-minus rather than having to remember which package it is in is extremely useful. The "suggestion" import of undeclared but required packages also "rocks".

Of course by implementing this features, JBuilder is only slowly catching up with IDEs like IDEA and Eclipse... :roll:

"Of course by implementing this features, JBuilder is only slowly catching up with IDEs like IDEA and Eclipse... " HUH?? JBuilder had that functionality (at least) in JB4, which existed well before IDEA and Eclipse to the best of my knowlege (if you know different lets hear it). How is JBuilder "catching up?". When IDEA or Eclipse has as good a designer, documentation as good as, or as good a debugger as JBuilder maybey they will catch up.
I know Jbuilder is wonderful at windows, but I don't know how I can start it in red hat! I have installed it sucessfully and I type sh $JBUILDER_HOME/bin/jbuilder in terminal window,nothing happens! I have installed two jdk,one is 1.4(from sun) and the other is 1.3(installed with jbuilder) 1.4 is good and can compiles and runs. When I type $JAVA_HOME/bin/java,also nothing happens! Why??

I don't know how new of a Linux user you are. If you are very new then: have you defined $JBUILDER_HOME yet, if you "sh echo $JBUILDER_HOME" does it echo JBuilder's path? Was there icons placed on the desktop when you installed JBuilder or did you have a zipped version?

Sorry, I misunderstood the poster saying that those features were new to JBuilder.

Are you talking about a GUI designer here? Yes, that is something currently missing, though *I* don't miss it at all...
as good a debugger as JBuilder
Mhh, I think the Eclipse-debugger is quite powerfull. What feature should I miss?
One of the things that disgusted me about JBuilder 5 Enterprise and EJB development was that it generated primary key classes whose equals() implementation violated two of the five stipulations of the equals() contract described in the documentation for Object.equals(). Has JBuilder 7 fixed this horrendous error (I state "horrendous" since we're talking about the possibility of non-unique primary keys here)? If not, it definitley rocks much less than you think. In the end, I prefer and IDE that doesn't force me to accept all of the favors it wants to do for me, especially if it doesn't do them well or correctly. Maybe JBuilder 7 is better in this regard than 5 was for me, but I haven't used it since version 5, preferring instead Eclipse or IDEA. Craig
Are you able to use JB7 with Java 1.4? The specs claim yes, but when I tried it with JB7 Personal (the free version) it only worked with Java 1.3. Which is why I now prefer IDEA and Eclipse. But perhaps I missed something...
