EDPE

Not sure about replacing MFE, but I was able to download EDPE from cnet:

download.cnet.com/.../3000-2247_4-75863147.html

I am trying to run through the tutorial, and wanted to play with BANKDEMO.

EDPE installed java 1.6, and then complained about not having the 1.6 or later JDK.  I have 1.8 JDK installed and got some errors when starting EDPE:

I opened an incident with SupportLine, but got the following response:

Hope this helped you... regards.  -Steve
