JBuilder

JBuilder was originally a product of the company Borland, which both supported the development of Java applications and provided a stand-alone integrated development environment( IDE) with an editor, compiler, debugger and a virtual designer. With the handover of the JBuilder product to Embarcadero in 2008, JBuilder underwent major changes. It is now no longer a stand-alone integrated development environment (IDE), but developed as a plug-in written in Java for the framework ofEclipse.

This means that standalone functions such as the Borland editor are no longer required, as these are now provided by the Eclipse platform. For free use, a basic version of JBuilder 2008 Turbo with restrictions is available for download at the link below. The Professional and Enterprise editions based on this are purely commercial versions.

Differences to the former standalone JBuilder IDE are especially classes for the graphical user interface( GUI), which are now no longer editable, if they were previously created in Borland's UI Designer.

The JBuilder 2008 makes now a set of new functions available opposite earlier version, for example:

  • Introduced so-called application factories,
  • Visual Enterprise JavaBeans( EJB),
  • Static and dynamic code analysis,
  • Support of distributed teams in the development as well as
  • Functions for modeling with the Unified Modeling Language( UML).

Further - partly very comfortable - development environments for developments on basis of the programming language Java are: Eclipse, Oracle JDeveloper, NetBeans and JCreator.
