Re: [ jEdit-devel ] Debian package: dependency on _Sun_ Java

[Vampire <Vam...@gm...>]

Sorry, maybe it's just me being pissed of IBM currently. I was forced to 
work with IRAD (IBM Rational Application Developer), an Eclipse based 
application for J2EE application development, for a project for 
university with two other colleagues and the most problems we had were 
due to the crappy and buggy software. We only worked for two weeks with 
IRAD but had many times to recreate WebSphere server profiles because 
IRAD corrrupted them, we had many times to reinstall IRADs and we wasted 
many time to find out why our application is not working to finally find 
out it was due to a bug in the damn IRAD/WepSphere.
