- "must be industrial-strength"
- "must support ANSI C++ standards (STL, standard class library, etc.)"
- This should eliminate VC++ 4.0 from your list, as the compiler portion is not
- very strong. It will crash if you try to debug STL code, crash if you try
- to profile an app that uses STL, and makes numerous compilation errors
- while compiling C++.
-
- "must support Java development"
- Borland 5.0 does this. Symantec has said they will do this pretty soon.
- Microsoft will not likely support it, as they are pushing VB Script.
