I try to work with 5.0.9. Studio is wonderful up and working, but some datatypes (varchar for example) crash the driver.
But i do have to use OpenBase, not primebase. (I am not sure with frontbase, will give it a try next week).
I am triying to connect to openBase since November 2002! (iODBC). With some workarounds (date, time, and limitations - no international characters) i can work with that version, which showed me the fastness of witango vs. Tango 2000 on OS 9. (But there it just works- my good old and slow butler :-)!)

I have a working JDBC database, PrimeBase has had working JDBC drivers for some time.
I just dl'd the latest Witango studio for OS X, 5.0.9, which will be out shortly according to phil.
With 5.0.7, I could load the primebase driver, but when I expanded the tables, I did not get the fields, with 5.0.9, it worked.

I would like a working JDBC-database( to OpenBase,Frontbase) connection before anything else. I'm running out of time now.

p.s. might be i should post this to beta, but i do not get any answers anywhere how far development is.

No need to wait for the compiler, soon is now. I think the compiler is going to be an exciting thing. But I am pretty sure that it will be no match to what you could manually do in a bean, optimizing it your self. Hopefully, the compiler will spit out the .java file as well as the .jar, so that one could open the .java file and tweak it if they so desired. That way the compiler will build your structure and save you time, but you could tweak the algorithm.
Also, one of the thing that the Witango community lacks right now is source for useful components to get you going. When I program in RB, I can go to several sites and do searches and can find someone elses work in the same area to get my moving in the right direction. For instance, when I built the WitangoHelper, I found someone who wrote a CGI shell for RB a few years ago that was designed to work as an apple CGI with apple events. I stripped out all of the appleevent stuff, but kept all of the work he did for parsing arguments and decoding URLEncoded text.
Do you know how many custom JAVA classes are out there? IMHO, this is what we have been waiting for. Time to go *ssholes and elbows if you ask me. ;-). (For the kangaroo set, that means get deep into >>> it.)

But soon, with the Witango Java Compiler, we'll be able to cast off the
extra wheels and compete with our skill set at a substantially higher
developer market level.
