Hi, I downloaded JBuilder 6 Personal a couple of months ago for use on my Uni project thinking I was getting JDK 1.4 (I need this for java.util.regex and java.util.prefs), however it only came with 1.3.1 and seemingly wont allow 1.4 to be added (???). I see that there is now a JBuilder 7 Personal available on the Borland site. If I download that will I get the stuff I need ? Also, would I be right in assuming that I would have to delete JBuilder 6 Personal off my PC or is it intelligent enough to know that's there and just upgrade ? I'm hoping that someone else may have been in a similar situation. Thanks -- mousy remove nospammythingy to reply

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I gather you didn't mean to refer me to the Selecting a target JDK section since when I go to the project properties I just see the configuration screen I saw when I installed JB6P (and that doesn't allow selection of any other JDK, the ellipses are greyed out) So, are you meaning that I should download a copy of JDK1.4 separately and use the defining JDKs bit to "hook it up" to this project ? Sorry if I'm sounding a bit dense here. I've used a JDK with only a textpad before, but apart from that have only used versions of JBuilder with what they came with...
