Absolutely right... I develop & compile servlets using J++ and, in a
post-build step, copy them over to Linux via a Samba share... works like a
charm.

Subject: Re: Servlet vs VJ++ 6.0
J++ is actually quite a good servlet development environment - especially if
you are used to Visual Studio.
You simply can turn off MS "extensions" in the compiler. I've been using it
for over a year and have never once generated code in J++ that wouldn't run
in the Sun VM. The J+ debugger is great and the MSVM is way faster than the
Sun VM (at least the 1.1 versions).
It's the GUI builder part of it thats the most non-portable, I'd recommend
you stay well away from that! It was apparently the lead developer from
JBuilder (and Delphi before that) that invented the non-java "delegate"
keyword that the GUI builder uses and Borland refused to implement it so he
went to Microsoft and they did it! Strange...
Beware - there's no Java 2 compatibility though...
