I downloaded the latest BETA a few days ago, and when I did they said it should
run on JDK 1.1.5, but that they strongly recommended JDK 1.1.6. Well, I
downloaded 1.1.6 to try it out, and it worked. The problem is that it's slow,
as you said, probably because I'm on a P133 with 48 megs of RAM (and about 20
memory leaking Netscape's running...). But the biggest problem was that it kept
hanging on me. I don't know if that's just because 1.1.6 is pretty new, or if
it's really that unstable on all platforms (probably a little of both), but it
wasn't really useable because of it.
But I agree, it looks *very* promesing. The editor, from which I always expect
a lot, was almost to my satisfaction. It had the syntax highlighting all worked
out, but IMO lacked a bit when it came to automatic indenting.
And also, there didn't seem to be a way to make the Wizards (which in turn,
don't seem to be able to be turned off) produce different styled code. It uses
the JavaSoft "official" style, which I despise to be perfectly honest. I can't
stand the way they place the brackets.
Anyway.. It's just a BETA version! I'm sure the final will be to my liking.
Maybe even worth buying?
