Java-compatible Virtual Machine Java Development Kit (JDK 1.1) or inside any
JDK 1.1-enabled browser. This is true rapid application  development. With
VisualAge for Java you can add a class, add or change a method, and then
incrementally compile without the need to exit the testing phase of development.
