>>Unlike with VFP I have not used Java forums yet. There is people here at my work that are helping me since they are java experts (and I think they are getting tired sometimes of me telling them about how easier it was with VFP).

>>For IDE I'm using Netbeans (
http://www.netbeans.org/features/). I can't tell you if it's better or not than others java IDE's, it's the only one I have used, but it's really good. You can actually bind controls to data now.

>I started using NetBeans, but then switched to JDeveloper. I don't think it is BETTER (I can't judge yet...), but a friend is helping me get started, and he know this one better. Once I know more about Java (if ever I do... I am not reserving enough time for that!), I am probably in a better position to take a decision for myself.
It feels so good to be Microsoft free!!! (at least for now, I'm still really angry with them for what they did to VFP)
Sun is usually more open with they decisions, hopefully that will not change now with Oracle on charge
I never forget a face, but in your case I will make an exception :-)
