Upgrade advice needed

[smetzger]

Hi,

We have a rather large 1.4 Java program. We will probably move to Java 1.5 in the near future. We are presently using Together 6.0.1 and I have noticed quite a few problems while debugging including...
- Cannot evaluate values of local variables
- Cannot step into constructors at times
- The 'thread pane' does not show method arguments or classes
- Its very slow

I know that at some point Together has become more tightly tied with JBuilder. What is the history of Together/JBuilder since Together 6.0.1?

What types of issues can I expect if we were to upgrade to the latest JBuilder/Together package?
If we just got the most recent JBuilder could it be 'integrated' with Together 6.0.1(for UML diagrams) or would we need to run each standalone?

Thanks,
Scott Metzger

The ability to debug is a function of the debug settings in JBuilder
and doesn't have anything to do with Together. Check "Project |
Project Properties | Build | Java | Debug options".

Presently we are not using JBuilder. We are only using Together and the JDK.

If you're not using JBuilder, please don't post in the JBuilder
newsgroups. I'm not familiar with Together, but if the ability to
compile Java is part of the Together environment, perhaps you should
post this query in one of the Together newsgroups so that someone there
can tell you how to change the Java compiler options to generate the
debugging information you need.

I think that the latest versions which you can combine are JBuilder 2005
and Together Designer and Developer 2005.

All these I think will give you all you get from Together 6.0.1 plus
many new features.

You can download their trial versions and see what you get from all of them.

The good think is that when you install Developer 2005 (it becomes part
of JBuilder IDE) and add license for Designer you will actually get all
these 3 products in the same IDE.

You can also install Designer 2005 as separate product.
