Oh, Addi. I've very seldom felt you were wrong but in this case
I think so. Have you ever use any of the Debuggers/Workshop
(other than JavaWorkshop) from Sun? I'm biased but I will tell
repeat what some friends of mine told me. These friends use
the development environments from IBM, HP, Sun, SGI and M$ and
they say that Suns is the ONLY one they can fully count on to
be completly correct. They do all thier debugging on Suns for
that reason. True they have an out of the ordinary situation
where they are debugging across 4 different languages but that
is precisely why they say it's the best. It's seamless and
correct.

I will have to give you the fact that they aren't for the inexprienced
developer. There are many more out there that do that better but
when it comes to debugging multi-treaded multi-system software
for HUGE software projects I think you will have a hard time beating
them.

Now, I will have to admit that JavaWorkshop 1.0 was NOT very good.
JavaWorkshop 2.0 is OK at least it's not an embarassment and when
3.0 comes out ... Watch out.

PS: There are Three separate companies/organizations within Sun that
keep getting confused. (there are more but are less likly to get confused.)

1. SMCC makes the hardware and servers.
2. JavaSoft makes the Java API's
3. SunSoft makes Solaris and Solaris compatible tools.

SunSoft is doing the JavaWorkshop because they have always had
the development tools expertise and have just shifted that expertise
to Java Development because it supports development of Tools for
Solaris. They work in cooperation with JavaSoft to provide those
tools for the other platforms as well but thier primary goal is
to provide application development support for the Solaris platform
and that is getting more and more to be Java.
