Re: dev tool for client

Hi,
  I have no recommendation for gui IDE's. That's not to say that there isn't one out there that can satisfy your needs.

  As to your comment about Sun's Java. Well, java is a language. Java is not an IDE. All companies that produce IDE's for java, state what version of the jdk they support. When you are using the IDE, what do you think it's producing? Java code of course. So, saying that Sun's java is more compilicated doesn't make much sense.

  Ok, enough on that...
   Go to www.javasoft.com, there Swing section specifically, and search for IDE. In the past they had done a comparison of various IDE's which may be of some use to you. The free IDE from there site is Forte. Check it out. Again though, this is not a recommendation for any specific one (since I have not used Forte, I just know that it's out there).

good luck,
cindy
