Yes both versions have the same J engine, so I imagine the jconsole (and therefore emacs) experience will be similar, but the Gtk IDE beta that Chris has been working on http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/System/Beta/Gtk%20IDE has an updated base library that will more closely resemble the finished J7 ecosystem. The command line version of the Package Manager is working so it is possible to download JAL addons that have been released for J701.
The following is from a Jconsole session from that beta: ==================================================== JVERSION Installer: j701abeta_linux32.sh Engine: j701/beta/2010-03-31/11:40 Library: 7.01.002 NB.
