Borland JBuilder

[Rhino]

Does it support ActiveX controls, particularily ADO?

Did you ever find out about this?
Personally I don't know
I don't know much about Java... a bit of a weakspot for me

Nope, haven't found out yet. It costs a little more than MS J++, but J++ isn't being update anymore and there wont be a newer version. Maybe I'll check Borland's web site.

wait, JBuilder costs? I got mine for free with my Java book so I didn't have to pay.

I'm not so far in Java, yet, to know if it supports ActiveX controls.

What? AcitveX is a Microsoft product. It's not a Java/Sun thing at all. Might be able to do it in JBuilder but I couldn't say for sure. I've never been much of a jBuilder guy myself.

If you want to do Java head to Eclipse.org and d/l their Open Source IDE. It's the best for Java. They've based it on Visual Age (once the best Java IDE) so it's really functional and very powerful.

Was it free, or is it a 90-day trial, or crippled some other way?

For my Visual J++ textbook, it came with a 90-day trial to Visual J++. In my VB 6 textbook, it came with a 'working model' of VB 6, meaning you couldn't compile anything, just run translated code.

I mean they're both like $50 to $70 anyways for the academic price, so it wouldn't be killing me

I didn't see anything about it on their feature matrix. I just like making quick connections to Access db's. That's why I was wondering if it could had ADO, which is real easy. But I suppose if it supports ODBC, it would work. Who knows though.

it came with a full version. my java book is called Programming with Java by Bradley and Millspaugh and comes with JBuilder 5 personal, sdk 1.3 and bdk 1.1

don't forget about ... I believe its called JDBC?

[qball]

ADBC, oops JDBC?

I smell a "huckleberry".

What do you want to do?

Any java product will do JDBC, it's up to the others to play fair... Oops not MS, lol.
