Embarcadero JBuilder

Description

Java IDE and development system for Java, originally released as Borland jBuilder in 1997 and then a Windows only product since it used a Delphi based IDE frontend. From version 3.5 it has used a 100% Java front end and even though the company only supports it on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux and Solaris, it actually runs on any Java platform with a little bit of massaging (see below). The system was bought by Embarcadero Technologies in 2008 and is now shipped in three different versions, called "Enterprise", "Professional" and "Turbo".

The freeware Oracle JDeveloper was originally based on JBuilder code licensed from Borland but has since diverged considerably.
