I couldn't help notice that the above says JBuilder ships JDK 1.1.3?  Is this
true?  Something newwith JBuilder C/S?  I sure hope to hear about a new JDK
update and JB patches,  and support
for servlets and fully IDE integrated ORB/RMI support with a transparent
Object to RDBMS mapping
tool....and of course enterprise bean support which is wired into Rational
Rose and all for $500. ;->
Well,  it is near Christmas!

I know chasing the JDK's isn't an option,  but doesn't Javasoft give you
early/incremental access to JDK releases?   If as a licensee you get frequent
incremental point releases you would be in a better position to support many
of the JDK drops.....If they don't involve the licensees as I assume, shame on
Javasoft--Licensees in a tight process would help Javasoft get feedback sooner
and make Javasoft more responsive to the tool vendors.
