I have not gone back to verify, but I am very certain I recall that
figure being *only for JBuilder* - that product, once the Java
leader, has definitely suffered due to the free Eclipse product.
However, Borland/DTG is attempting to move JBuilder into a position
where it might be able to regain some of that market as well. Note
that this means that the remainder, 93%, of IDE revenue must, by
definition, be at least mostly from BDS. Taking Michael's figure of
30% of revenue, that means annual IDE= ~$90 million, and possibly as
much as ~83 million of that from BDS.
No, I think the 7% was a proportion of total revenue, not IDE revenue. So if total revenue is $300m and IDE revenue is $90m, then that means the JBuilder proportion would be $21m and the BDS proportion $69m.
