[oXygen-user] Re: Using oXygen in IBM Rational Application Developer

[Alexander Voss]

Hi,

thanks for the info. I'm not committed to RAD
and could chose an alternative but it needs to
be very low cost (get RAD for free through IBM's
academic initiative) and it would have to support
WYSIWYG editing of the user interface parts.
Any suggestions? Especially ones where oXygen
is know to work? How about myeclipse?

Cheers,

Alex
