Howdy:

I'm new at Java (buthave done alot of Fortran, Basic, Pascal, Modula2 &
various assembler programming)

I'd like to get started with Java, and wondered what IDE I should use
(ECLIPSE, JBuilder, BlueJay, etc).

My interest is in mapping applications (OpenMap), Radio Frequency modeling,
simulation & analysis tools like Radio Mobile, TAP, Hertz Warfare, etc.

Any pointers would be welcome

Thanks & TTYL

John,

Eclipse is the way things are going. I believe even JBuilder from
Borland is going to be based on Eclipse going forward so this seems to
be the one to stick with.

With regard to mapping applications how graphically intensive are
intending to be as SWING can be a bit slow. I have done some DEM stuff
and am currently working on Java optimisation, but there may be better
ways forward determined predominantly by the architecture.

Hope this helps

Lance
