Al Reinhart, DisCom Systems
The October meeting of the Delphi Developers Group of Greater Boston will focus on a review and demonstration of JBuilder 3. JBuilder 3 is the latest release of Borland's visual development tool for creating 100% Pure Java enterprise-scale, distributed applications for the Java 2 platform.

JBuilder 3 includes a unique combination of features for creating platform-independent business and database applications, distributed Enterprise applications, and JavaBean components. JBuilder 3 also delivers a comprehensive set of tools for creating pure Java applications, applets, servlets, JavaBeans, and Enterprise JavaBeans.

JBuilder features that will be reviewed include:

Platform independence with industry standard pure Java code generation.
Visual development using the Java 2 JFC/Swing components including support for the Swing data models.
Enhanced database components with source code for creating professional database applications, including the DataExpress data-access components and enhanced dbSwing data aware components (with industry standard JDBC connectivity.)
JDataStore pure Java embeddable database for creating small footprint, portable database applications.
