Eclipse And Jbuilder: Generates Compatible Code ?

ok, my laptop that I bring to school runs on Linux and I have Eclipse installed on it, but my school's computers run on Windows and have JBuilder. Are they compatible to each other?Thanks,xboxrulz

Java was designed as a platform independant programming language. However, there are some programs and methods that are OS dependant, but they are few in number and infrequently used. As such, any applets or applications you make on either computer should run on both as long as you do not convert them to native executable formats such as exe or elf. As far as Eclipse and JBuilder, both are IDEs and are compatible as far as recognizing your code. However, JBuilder has built in java support for compilation and execution, but Eclipse requires that you have the java compiler and interpreter installed. As such, you ought to be able to work on any programs in either IDE, but you may not be able to run compiled class files on the JBuilder computers unless it also has the java runtime environment.~Viz

As long as you are using Classes and Packages that can be found within the Java Library, then you should have no problem switching between the two different IDEs.I have used both JBuilder and Eclipse in my development. One thing that makes JBuilder stand out is that it has its own proprietary packages found in their JDBC related packages.Eclipse is a decent IDE, but I really don't like how they automatically generate code while you are building a GUI.
