Borland JBuilder or IBM Visual Age? I tested them briefly myself and read other more extensive evaluations. I also tested JDeveloper. My impression is that unless you plan to use a lot of oracle products along with it, JBuilder would in most cases be a better choice. They are originally based on the same code base but JDeveloper seems very out of date, compared to JBuilder. What IDE you should choose depends on what you intend to do. If it is very heavy duty. A very large program with lots and lots of classes then VA is clearly the best. But you have to have lots of memory if you intend to use it. For medium size projects (it works for bigger to but here VA has the edge) and J2. EE stuff JBuilder is the prefered IDE. The support for J2. EE coding is very good. They got lots of wizards and tools to make that task a lot easier than it would under Forte for instance. Please also note that I guess the GUI of JBuilder will be most familiar to most people. Both Forte and especially VA has an untraditional GUI. I loved the VA GUI because it is very much like a Smalltalk IDEs GUI, but I guess most people are more familiar with VC++, Delphi, VB etc than Smalltalk.
