Hoover Guest Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2006 4:31 pm    Post subject: platform-specific builds Hi Everyone, I'm VERY new to the world of Java. I have only downloaded JBuilder's trial and looked at my first program yesterday. Our company is exploring the possibility of moving our programming environment to Java. As I understand Java, my program will run atop JVM and be interpreted into platform-specific instructions at runtime. A recent story relayed to me by a Cisco guy makes me think twice about this. He said they migrated their office management software to Java and had enough problems with JVM versions (forcing them to bundle JVM thus causing Windows to upgrade/downgrade JVM as necessary to run their program, eventually causing "window to break") that they abandoned the project. :( I've also heard it's possible to bypass this step and compile my program in multiple builds for specific platforms, ie, 1 for Windows, 1 for MAC, 1 for Linux, 1 for Unix, etc, without changing my source code. This seems like it could circumvent this potential pitfall, and thus appeals to me very much. Is it possible to accomplish this with Borland JBuilder 2006? Thanks so much!
