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