Make IDE independent

[getusama]

Hi

Can anyone tell me how I should use JBuilder to design my forms and at the same time make the whole code IDE independent (because i would use other editors or even a notepad to do the programming)

Thanks this would be a great help

There is no way to make the code 'IDE independent' since each IDE *will* use a different code method to maintain the visual build code. If you use notepad you are obviously okay since your brain is far more versatile than any IDE

To make the code itself less reliant on Borland, don't use JBuilder's vertical flow layout for starters. There may be others which are 'borland supplied' but this is the one I know to stay clear of. Using them ties you to using a Borland jar whenever you need to run the code.
