JBuilder refers to a now-obsolete integrated development environment (IDE) designed for the programming language Java, originally created by Borland and later managed by Embarcadero Technologies. The product was separated alongside CodeGear, which Embarcadero purchased in 2008.
Early iterations of JDeveloper from Oracle were derived from JBuilder source code licensed from Borland; however, Oracle has since entirely redeveloped the software.
