I have had to much problems with it to trust it anymore.

I have a Windows and a Linux development machine on my desk. Does this 
mean that I can run the Windows Jlink Server program on my window box 
but use the Linux box as my development environment?  That would be 
close to perfect. I prefer to do development on the Linux system but 
have many customers which I write drivers etc for on the WIN32 system so 
I will never get rid of that environment anyway.

Yes I checked it out and it looks really impressive. One thing put me of 
and that is the magic it uses to locate the development tree. I probably 
haven't found this out right but I never succeeded in having projects on 
different locations on my disk  It always force me into having the files 
in its structure.
