WSAD provides a very open facility for using a variety of JDK's / JVM's. Use the following menus/dialogs to configure multiple JVM's and when you run/debug, you can associate a JVM to be used (allowing you to test your code under multiple conditions):
Windows / Preferences Expand Java and select Installed JREs Add... Fill in the name (label) to remind you which JRE is being configured Fill in the directory to the home directory (e.g., c:\jdk1.4) Fill in the directory to the URL for the documentation (e..g, file:/C:/jdk1.4/docs/index.html) Optionally check if you'd like your new JRE to be used as the default for running/debugging your code.

WSAD is also a nice tool but the latest version of WASD is version 5 (beta). The problem is , as of now ,this version is supporting jdk1.3 Yes ! there is no support for jdk1.4 I guess IBM has promised to provide the 1.4 support to this version (i.e. when version 5 is released) Oracle JDev supports 1.4. Nevertheless both the tools are decent as per functioning is concerned. The biggest problem that i have encountered is that JDev. creates a method JbInit() which it uses to build the GUI.As you place controls on the form , all of them get listed in the JbInit().WSAD creates an initialize() method for building the GUI and for every control that you place on the form, it creates a getter method. This method is then called in respective panel's getter method (in which the component is placed) which is then called in the initialize().I don't know if such a methodlogy of designing is a design pattern .. but it does create migration problems because you just cant open a JDev file in WSAD and expect it to be visible in the visual editor. On the whole both tools are good. regards *************************************** Abhay Kulkarni Tel No: 877 4081 (Ext: 275) mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *************************************** ____________________________________________________ To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm Be respectful!
