In short: faster and more stable. FB3 is a lot smarter about compiling, so building a project after making a change goes a lot faster. Developers were increasingly frustrated and slowed by the long build times of our project with FB2.01.
There were also a variety of small bugs in 2.01, such as issues recompiling styles, embedded assets, or external xml data. Occasionally it would cause FB2 to crash, but usually it would just require full cleans. These minor frustrations really built up and could waste a lot of time and productivity (as well as lower morale and excitement about the technology). There's no reason to put developers through using older, buggier tools when better options are available. Also, FB3 is based on a newer version of Eclipse. So better navigation (ctrl+3 is a lifesaver!), smarter memory usage, and enhanced stability all come with it. Not to mention all the plugin upgrades if you're using any of them (Subclipse, SpringIDE, Jupiter, etc)... -Nick Matelli Amentra, Inc --- In [email protected], Mr Greg Murnock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > For the big discussion of the day/week... > > I have been given the task to give a "strong case" on why we need to spend the money (proposed pricing schedule) on the upgrade to FB3, when available. > Our company does not look to do AIR apps, we do not have a case to use Advanced Datagrid, we front CF7 with an Oracle DB (irrelevant) so the FDS is already there.
