CodeGear position on DataExpress/dbSwing

[Kevin Dean [TeamB]]

Here is CodeGear's position on the use of DataExpress/dbSwing in JBuilder
2007:

<quote>
When you buy a JBuilder 2007 license, we include a JBuilder 2006 license
in the box. You are legally allowed to distribute things referenced in
the /redist dir according to the .html file and those aforementioned
pieces are part of that agreement. You may also convert/migrate your old
apps to JB2007. The simple answer is yes, no problem.

It is worth noting, however, that no development effort has been put into
these components for a number of years and they're out of technical support.

So I'm assuming this means that they are phasing out the DataExpress
components and we should forget using them and stay strictly to the
JDBC API? What a shame :(

That's why we bought JBuilder and JDataStore--for ease of
development...
