The .NET version of GPCP is very complete and mature (and probably the JVM
version, but I have no experience with that). It has supported the latest
version v2.0 of the .NET framework since January. By comparison, Delphi is
still months away from the same target.
.NET provides the simplest migration route for 64-bit support (already
happened) and future versions of Windows. GPCP has also been reported as
running under Mono - the Linux flavour of the .NET framework.
I am totally dependent on GPCP for running my business as I use it for the
back-end processing of my on-line web order forms, automatic email delivery
of products, maintaining my customer database, periodic mass-mailouts to
customers etc. etc.
What you may be thinking of is a version of GPCP (or Zonnon) that is hosted
in the Visual Studio IDE. The work for both has been largely done but there
are outstanding stability issues.
