MEMBER FEEDBACK TO THIS TIP

Java is far harder to debug than LotusScript is. Java Error messages are vague and useless.

-- Joe A.

***********************************************

That is not necessarily true. In LotusScript, you must have the debugger open in order to find the error. I find the LotusScript debugger a real pain after coming out of the Java environment. If you have any kind of Java console, you get the exact line the problem occurs on, the exact problem, and can easily adjust your code accordingly.
