I've installed Jbuilder 6 Personal Edition on Athena for Suns and
Linux machines. To run it, type:
add jbuilder
jbuilder &
JBuilder is an integrated Java program development environment, which
comes with a built-in JDK release (1.3.1 for JBuilder 6). It is
generally similar to Sun's FORTE for Java, which is also on
Athena. This release comes with a timeout key, due to expire on
8/31/02- Borland is not obligated to renew this as the software was
supplied at no cost, but they have stated that they intend to renew
it.
Extensive online help, release notes and tutorials are available
through the online help system.
Unfortunately, JBuilder interacts badly with AFS. Please read file
/mit/jbuilder_v6.0/README.afs for workarounds. THIS IS IMPORTANT. IF
YOU DON'T FOLLOW DIRECTIONS IN THIS FILE YOU WILL LIKELY LOCK UP YOUR
COMPUTER WHEN YOU OPEN FILES OR PROJECTS.
The default location for your projects is a directory jbproject within
your home directory. Jbuilder also creates a small, hidden directory
containing configuration files- this is normally .jbuilder6 in your home
directory, but as this is platform-dependent, .jbuilder6 is made a
symbolic link to one of two platform-dependent hidden directories for
Sun or Linux.
If sound effects are enabled on Linux machines, the application may crash.
