JX is a "componentware" application developement tool that has a large number of components, including ACE, and a nice integrated developement environment. If you are looking to develope applications, and you are either willing to release your source or willing to share your profits (yes, Virginia, yet another license), it is a damn nice thing. The web site is at: http://www.its.caltech.edu/~jafl/jx/ http://www.its.caltech.edu/~jafl/jx/features.html Caveat: You should probably use the g++28 port instead of the default egcs; they both have a "thunks" bug, but egcs has another bug that keeps a number of the modules from working.
