I'll repeat: JBuilder has never been axed. No weasel words required.

Technically, neither was Kylix.

Kylix implies nothing about JBuilder. Borland has been talking about
the work it has been doing on JBuilder and is going to demo an early
version of the forthcoming release on the Eclipse platform *today*

Repeat: Today. About an hour from now, actually.

I haven't seen any announcements of upcoming demos of new Kylix
versions.

People who willfully ignore the new version of JBuilder could, I
suppose, conclude that it has been axed, but anyone who pays the
slightest version of attention to what Borland is saying about it would
have to notice that it is still under very active development.

Really, guys, a Google search before posting would have cleared up
your confusion.
