HI John, Sorry for the delay in response and thanks for the heads up on Eclipse. The delay in responding to your email is that I have not looked at my gmail in a few weeks. I started on the Google API and then was side-tracked into studying (what to me was new) stuff like PHP based Wordpress, Joomla, osCommerce. I have decided to come out of retirement and to set up a small one-man consulting company for web development, that is why I started to look at the Google API. I will give it another go-around soon. Yeah, 1967...I guess that really dates me...but I have been fortunate enough to participate in the evolution of a lot of technology. I was out of the loop (stuck in large corporations with low level C/C++ programming) for 10 years and then retired for the last 5 years raising honeybees, so I have to catch up with all the new web stuff.
Thanks, Frank On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 10:59 AM, strachjs <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Frank. > > Not a direct answer to your question, but just to let you know that we > upload our products using Apple Macs using the Google Base Java API. > > We use Eclipse (Integrated Development Environment) to develop the > Java software on, with the Google Base Client jar files.
