You are not reading what I am writing. J602 will live for a lot longer. It is a great system and is very stable and complete. However, it is at the end of its life cycle and no official Jsoftware energies will go into further development.
Going forward, as appropriate, a user can use J602 or J701 or both. But they are different releases with different strengths, weakness, characteristics, and futures. 2010/12/22 Björn Helgason <[email protected]> > I think it is a mistake to drop J.exe like this. > > I think it would be better to let it continue without further development > until other ides can replace it. > > Letting each user try to mix things together will only bring on confusion. > > J.exe is a superb product and the other new ides jhs and gtk need a long > time and lot of adjustments in documentation for new as well as existing > users to make the change. > > If I may make a suggestion then I would say that J.exe will be better off > to > be fased out during several months/years in unchanged functionality and as > conversion tools/docs becomes available. > > JHS and GTK may well be good enough technically for experts but for > ordinary > users I am sure it is definitely a bit too much of a leap. > > In theory you could more or less bring J.exe unchanged from the J6 > distribution into J7. > > 2010/12/22 Eric Iverson <[email protected]> > > > It is a mistake to think 'J.exe is part of J7'.
