“Borland has released version 4 of its java IDE which supersedes
the previous 3.5 version and finally provides support for jdk1.3.
It’s a free download, but at approximately 88MB (including
documentation and sample programs), a DSL or cable internet
connection is preferred.”

From the download page:

“JBuilder Foundation was written by Java developers for Java
developers. The amazingly fast and robust environment shows that
Java is no slouch when it comes to the most demanding tasks
imaginable. Featuring a responsive and feature rich editing
environment, rapid compilation using an advanced dependency
checking system and an intuitive debugging environment, JBuilder
Foundation delivers on the Java dream of sophisticated portable
code.”

“It’s our new foundation for the future of the JBuilder product
line and the perfect companion for the JDK.”

“We use JBuilder to improve JBuilder and it shows. The
AppBrowser makes managing hundreds of packages and thousands of
source files effortless. CodeInsight technology automatically looks
up classes, methods and parameter information as you type,
integrated seamlessly into the source code editor.”
