Reliability of Applications developed using Jabaco

Hi,

I am new to Jabaco. It tooks like VB 6.0 (a lot) witch make the software mostly interesting (and more "user-friendly" than Java SE + Netbeans).

Questions:

- Is an application, developed using Jabaco, as rugged and reliable as an application developed using Java SE ?
- Would an application developed using Jabaco work other OS than Windows such as Sun's Solaris Java Desktop ?

- The downloaded version is still a beta version ...
When will a released version would be available ?

Thanks,
Pierre

Hi,
in terms of reliability there should not be much difference between Jabaco and Java applications.
You should be aware that the Jabaco framework is maintained by volunteers rather than by a multi-billion-dollar company with elaborated QA processes.
Currently, Jabaco should not be applied to control a nuclear power plant. But that is also the case for 97% of all open source Java frameworks.

The compiled Jar files of Jabaco can be copied and run on non-Windows platforms. But this is only true if you restrict yourself to use platform-independent classes and functions only. As soon as you are using WINAPI or other Windows specific things, you're going to lose platform independence.

The Jabaco IDE is pretty reliable by now. However, the release date of the first "post-beta" is still unknown.

Greetings

I'll add this.

Since jabaco uses the java framework, it is allot more powerful and flexible then VB6.
