Hey Mark, thanks for the reply. I wonder why JBuilder has all the market share. From my first exposure to my last (about 3 years worth), I was never very fond of it. Too bad school didn't have us use IDEA in the first place.

However, in my humble opinion java on the client suffers from two things: 1) Lack of a good cross platform ui (metal laf just isn't very good) 2) Lack of gui component libraries. Swing does a good job of providing the basic stuff, but it took *years* before a spinner component showed up. Where's a login dialog? Where's the splash screen? Everybody has to come up with this stuff on their own, whereas with c++ we have some deep component trees from years of code investment. Ok, that's all. Not going to use up any more valuable log4j mailing list space for client side java :-) Richard __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
