Dave Only a suggestion.
Why don't you use Kawa??? I do not know how it will perform in XP and I would be interested to know?? You can download a trial from the Macromedia site. And it is pretty cheap to buy and is miles quicker than Jbuilder and Forte. It is not written in Java It was written originally by TEK-TOOLS, it was then taken over by Allaire now Macromedia Has it. There is an issue if you want to use JDK 1.4 but if you are using 1.3 you should be fine Good Luck Theo Starr Almityand-Mega Multimedia WWW: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~almity1 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dave Ford Sent: Monday, 19 November 2001 10:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Java Swing and XP data Whoops!
