I hope that it will not support jdk1.1. I humbly think it is a worthless attempt at stifling java. Why would I as a programmer or an IT manager choose it over other IDEs? Why would I tie myself to their backoffice. I honestly can't see the benifit. One thing is for certain.. Microsoft will never change.

Addi, Visual J++ was always a mediocre Java tool, not to the standards of the Symantec, SuperCede, IBM, and Borland offerings. What does version 6 has that will force these other vendors out of the Java tools market? Best regards.

I can tell you one thing for certain: If Visual J++ 6.0 does not support Sun's JDK 1.1, it will be a huge failiue for Microsoft and it will backfire It's war! Java Lobby rages at Microsoft www5.zdnet.com Java Lobby President Rick Ross told developers today to consider themselves at war with Microsoft Corp. over Java. --- It sure doesn't look like they plan to support JDK. The number one reason why they will get away with it is called MONOPOLY. Once again Microslop plans to try and lock up the software developers. Remember this word control it goes hand and hand with monopoly. PS At work they use a NT to run all of one very simple application. Ever so often it pops up with a error message that says out of virtual memory. How do you say Not There. Mike
