    Using a different JDK with JBuilder

    Hi All,

    I have just got JBuidler 8, and I want to use the latest JDK with it. How /
    Can I do this. Also I am building a project using java media api and java 3d
    api, how can I get JBuilder to recognise them?

      You cant. JBuilder uses its own embedded compiler (which is never good) so
      you can not make it use a different JDK.

      Netbeans or Gel will allow you to do this (and they are free). Eclipse is
      free and quite nice also but unfortunately also uses its own compiler so it
      can not be upgraded with a newer JDK.

          Is it not just changing the path in preferences? You can chang the JDK
          path. Jbuilder has a JDK which downloads with the tool, accounts for 90% of
          the size of the download. You can set the JDK path to say
          c:\apps\JDK1.4. xxx in the preferences, of the newer JDK that you download
          from SUN.

              Complete and utter BS.
              JBuilder has supported JDK switching since version 4 (or maybe earlier).
              Look in the IDE settings (I think, might differ between versions).
              To add an external library, check "required libraries" under project
              properties.

              Another BS. Eclipse doesn't even come with a JDK, so HAS to use an external
              one.
              check window->preferences->Java->installed JREs.

              If you don't know what you're talking about keep your mouth shut...

                  BTW: Eclipse has an internal Java compiler. For compiling it strictly does
                  not need a JDK, it needs a JRE though for access to the standard libraries
                  and for launching applications. The same issues as with JBuilder arise when
                  newer Java versions are incompatible with the internal compiler.

                      That's pretty muchwhat I've done so far.
