Here is a matrix outlining the features of JDesignerPro compared to some other products. JDesignerPro leads in features because BulletProof has been developing it since September 1995. JDesignerPro is not an old product simply remade for Java, as are most other development tools. It was designed from the ground up in Java for network computing development.

Note: JDesignerPro uses the compiler that comes with the free Sun JDK that you install. NetDynamics does create client-side Java.

All of these products include these features: Windows Compatible, Java-based in some way, create web-enabled clients, allow access to code, create Java code. NetDynamics does not offer client-side Java and Sapphire/Web offers only very basic client-side Java.

From the features matrices above we want you to see how different JDesignerPro is from other Java development tools and that the IDEs, like CaféPro, PowerJ, JBuilder, J++ and Supercede, are really not even competitors. In fact these IDEs are more complimentary than competitive. You may want to use JDesignerPro in conjunction with and IDE to use that product’s debugger and compiler.
