I've been experimenting with upgrading JBuilder to 1.1.4 or later. What I've
been doing is modifying the classes.zip file (in JBuilder\java\lib), replacing
some of the .class files with newer versions of the same. My success has been
limited. Sometimes JBuilder crashes on launch with a cryptic message. At best,
JBuilder launches, and more-or-less runs, but eventually crashes in javaw when
running/debugging the target application.

One thing I noticed about Borland's classes.zip file is that it contains, in
addition to the usual .class files, several .dependency files, of mysterious
purpose and content. Since I am not updating these, they are most likely out
of sync.

What I would like to see from Borland is a classes.zip upgrade tool which
imports selected new classes or an entire new classes.zip from a new JDK. This
would allow users to incorporate their favorite bug fixes from JavaSoft.

Of course, this won't work if Borland is actually modifying the classes in the
JDK, which I hope is not the case.
