JBuilder (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles JBuilder is a Java IDE from Borland/CodeGear. Codegear was recently purchased by Embarcadero Technologies. Borland/CodeGear sells a variety of versions of JBuilder, and offers a free limited version for beginners of the Java language. JBuilder's main competitors are the products from Eclipse Foundation, JetBrains, BEA Systems, Sun Microsystems and Oracle. Oracle used to base the first versions of JDeveloper on code from JBuilder licensed from Borland, but it has since been rewritten from scratch. JBuilder was conceived within Borland in late 1995, by the people fascinated with the new language Java including David Williams, Carl Quinn and Jayson Minard working in Borland's Component Product Group and the C++ Group. Carl Quinn later created the Baja component model which became the basis of the JavaBeans specification. Jayson Minard created the Java prototype which was the foundation for the JBuilder IDE, and the DataSet model for database access. Other people later joining the team were Joe Nuxoll and Blake Stone who led the development of the first all-Java version of the product.
