John Kaster (Borland) says:

"I will be generous, because of the tendency of the register to be
sensationalistic, and just say that this is a really major case of
someone jumping to the wrong conclusion.

We are planning on building the "JBuilder experience" on Eclipse in
addition to its current Primetime implementation.

Taking that information and stating that "JBuilder is now open source"
is extremely irresponsible, in addition to being plain wrong.

The Register is definitely living up to its tagline as being "The Hand
that bites IT." Hopefully most people will recognize their tendency to
exaggerate situations and not place too much stock in their
misconceptions.

The first two sentences of his article are, well, totally his own bad
analysis, rather than based on anything anyone at Borland would say.


If you want to listen to what Borland actually DID say, you can listen
to the replay of the earnings call here:
