I am attempting to figure out what platforms I need to test a program
I am developing on and thus am interested in finding out what
platforms people are using on x86 hardware. Please answer the
following and send it to me privately at aryeh.friedman@gmail.com:
No!
1. Do you use Linux to develop Java? If so what distro and JDK
version?
nope.
2. Do you use FreeBSD to develop Java? If so what version (i386 or
amd64?) and what JDK version? Do you use JavaVMWrapper from ports?
Nope, but I'd like to run production apps on FreeBSD. I hears BSD and
J2EE don't play well though, which is a bummer.
3. Do you use Windows (XP or Vista) to develop Java? If so what
version and what version of the JDK?
Vista, and whatever is latest version of JDK. I think I have a couple
older runtimes installed, but I didn't look it up.
4. Do you use Eclipse? If so what version and on what OS's?
No. I'd like to learn but my initial foray into Eclipse wasn't a great
experience.
5. Do you use NetBeans? If so what version on what OS's?
Yep, just upgraded to 6.0. Used 5.5 before that.
6. Do you use command line based Java development? If so on what OS's
and what command shell do you use?
Very seldom, although I like to make sure projects are generally
buildable from the command line, NetBeans does produce regular old Ant
scripts I can use to build, so I generally let it do it's thing.
