This is really a question that the Indy folks would have to answer 
simply because they are the one writing the components.

Anyway it is clear to me from all the hype over the last few months that 
the promise of C++ Builder 2006 is that it will be able to automatically 
use components that exists in other languages within the IDE. Remember 
there is really no distinction between the products being named just the 
languages.

That is not entirely true.  It can only use components written in C++ or 
Delphi, just like it always has.  It will not be able to use components 
written in C#.  And in order for Delphi to share packages with C++, the 
packge has to be explicitally configured in the Options to output C++ files 
(HPP, LIB, BPx, etc) in addition to Delphi files (DCU, etc).

So, will it be possible to use Delphi's Indy componets in C++Builder 
'personality' of Developer Studio 2006?

Or are all componets shared between Delphi and C++ in Developer Studio 2006?

When BDS 2006 is actually released, I will be making sure personally that 
Indy works in the C++ personality ;-)  There are three main obstacles that 
are keeping Indy 10 from being supported in BCB v6 right now:

1) lack of talent - I am about the only C++ member on the Indy team, which 
means that everything C++-related in Indy falls on my shoulders.  That 
includes making sure that any Delphi->C++ cross-compatibility issues are 
addressed.

2) lack of install files - Indy 10 doesn't have any official install files 
for C++.  There are some third-party ones floating around, and there are 
some experimental ones inside Indy's team, but they have not been confirmed 
yet because of #3...

3) lack of time - I don't have much of it.

No, components are not always shared.  C++ can still have its own components 
that do not appear in Delphi, and vice versa.  There are new settings for 
packages that allow packages to specify which personalities they want to 
target, and then the IDE can filter the installed packages based on that. 
The filtering is part coding, part configuration.

So I can safely upgrade to BDS 2006 ASAP (with a preorder-price!)...

Thanks!
