The real application is worth the money (if you unlike me got any) - but you can use the test/development versions for free!

Unfortunately Borland doesn't offer JBuilder officially for Macosx. However since it's written in Java it should run there, too?

Well, JBuilderX is just so cool it would be a pity if it didn't run on MacosX. :-|

Basically you can extract the pure JAR files out of the JBuilder distribution and it should run on any Java enabled platform. Last year I've seen the JBuilder Win distribution run on Linux - just with an own starter batch file.


PS: I'm talking about the free JBuilderX version named Foundation (or Personal? No, Personal has been with JB9, now it's Foundation again, like in JB-pre-9 or so, oh well.).

I use Eclipse  3.0M5 works very well on OS X and it is free.

(a simple hack is needed to run it on 1.4.2DP1.. just ask on the java-seed list.)

Yep and JBuilderX works with the Mac 1.4.2

So if anyone needs installation instructions let me know and Ill post them.

It does and Im running the latest version (JBX) just fine :)

One hiccup is that they use InstallAnywhere and there is an incompatibility between the InstallAnywhere launcher and the developer JDK1.4.2 but you can run it manually with your JDK1.3.1.  If anyone needs instructions, post and ill dope it out again.  (Its the eay you run all InstallAnywhere stuff, basically you invoke one class  in the install.jar and it does the rest.)

And yes, I love JBuilder :)
