I spoke with a Borland support engineer (in their free “registration issues” support department) for about an hour on Friday, trying to resolve my registration issues.
I do have to say that while I have become frustrated by not getting the trial version registered correctly, I do still like Borland (and Codegear so far) and think they are for sure trying to help me, but the issue I am encountering is not “normal”. Also, this is a new product to them (Eclipse based JBuilder is quite a different beast from the 2006 version.)
I will continue to update this blog as the saga continues… I just want to be clear that this is not an anti-borland rant, I am a loyal (although frustrated at the moment) customer.
