Re: [mdb-dev] Java version of mdblib

[Jan v. M. <jan...@gm...>]

Hi Calvin,

Thanks for your response.  I understand the strategy you chose to implement
the Java version of mdbtools.  Also thanks for the pointer
to Jackcess, a project I somehow overlooked when I was searching for mdb
libraries.  I am currently testing both Jackcess and mdbtools-java.

Best regards,

Jan.
