JustForKix Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I tried installing JBuilder but it hangs during installation. Has anyone got it to work successfully? Are there any other working alternatives to JBuilder? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7964-anybody-got-jbuilder-to-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templeton Peck Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 There's always javac (Terminal command). You can write the code with Text Edit or emacs/vi/pico if you're a real nerd. And the java command will execute the code. It ain't pretty but it gets the job done. Personally I havn't done Java in a long time, but when I did, that's what I used to do. Good luck. Wait a sec. Doesn't XCode do Java? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7964-anybody-got-jbuilder-to-work/#findComment-49884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkelley Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 despite common belief that xcode is the greatest ide ever created....... it isn't. It's great for objective C (they were created for each other after all by NeXT), but it's java implementation is, well, weak at best. It doesn't work well for java. Just don't do it... Eclipse can be made to work on osx intel I've heard, but I don't know how (it doesnt' out of the box). There are other java-based ides out there which are great too... experiment and you'll find something.

sigxcpu Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Eclipse works almost out of the box. You just replace SWT carbon libraries with native ones (for speed) in "plugins" folder. Also NetBeans 5 works out of the box. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7964-anybody-got-jbuilder-to-work/#findComment-50030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
