A frustrating problem that I ran into regarding Java... My favorite
development computer is a Linux with Visual Age for Java installed. Another
guy using a Windows computer had been using NetBeans, but the company picked
up a new copy of Visual Studio, and he began using J++, which was creating
Windows specific code in some cases. J++ has since been dumped, and the
department is now in agreement regarding Java, but it was a little bit of a
hassle at the time. And in fact, I don't think anyone has banged out any
Java code in weeks. :)
