ActiveWin.com: Borland JBuilder X Enterprise Edition

Well we have reached the end of the review. Here are my final comments, notes and grades for Borland JBuilder X.

Upgrading from JBuilder 9 is not necessary, in my opinion. A lot of the features mentioned in the review are included with version 9 of the IDE and forking out money for the upgrade is just not fully justified. Upgrading from all other versions of JBuilder is highly recommended. The vast array of new features that you will be exposed to means increased productivity and smoother workflow. Bundle in support for all major application servers, basic UML modeling and ease when it comes to programming web services.
