Visual Cafe jdk1.2.2

Posted by Wade Chandler on April 27, 2001 at 3:25 PM

For any jdk or jre to call itself Java 1.2/1.1/1.0 compatible.
It has to be. This is what the case with Microsoft that Sun won
was about. We use Visual Cafe and Source Safe. It works fine.
I also use SuSE Linux 7.0 with JDK1.3 sometimes CVS.
This works fine as well, but you create more development costs
because of the the slower development. You can pull an app together
really quick in Visual Cafe. Kind of hard if you are only using
the JDK. You can get forte for linux. www.javasoft.com then
on products and api's click on forte. Hope this helps. I think
Visual Cafe and Source Safe would be the best choice. I like to run
on Linux, but in speed of development you can't beat the GUI's.
