Hi
Currently we are devloping a strus application which will be deployed in weblogic 7.0 having jdk1.3

As I am using previous version of jdk ie 1.3 I am not sure which IDE to use for stusus develpment.

Please help me out as all the latest version of IDE supports either jre 1.5 or 1.4

Do you really have to use JDK1.3?
You should find that IDEs have the facility to create code in different JDK compatibility. For example, in Eclipse:
  • Right-click the name of the project in the left panel ("Package")
  • Click properties
  • Click "Java Compiler" on the left
  • Choose the JDK required from the drop-down list at the top right
  • Click OK to confirm
  • Easy enough. I am sure there is something similar in NetBeans, but haven't tried for some time.

    Make sure only to use classes methods and keywords available in J1.3.

    That's no problem. Install both JDK 1.3 and JDK 6 on your machine, and your IDE (for example Eclipse 3.3).

    Then start up Eclipse, and go to Window / Preferences, and select Java / Installed JREs in the tree on the left. Click the "Add..." button to add your JDK 1.3 installation.

    Follow Campbell's instructions to set your project to Java 1.3.

    After that, when you run a program, you can choose to run it with JDK 1.3.
