Ok, some answers. I´m not the coder of jaPBe. jaPBe is freeware, so I took the version 1.3.10.10 and changed some parts of it to fit it to DBPro.
It only supports DBPro. You cant use it for PB or DBC (in fact you can, but the SHL, compiling etc. will not work)
You cant use the same folder for jaPBe and jaPRoe, cos some things are quite different.
For me (i have not heard many bug reports - maybe because there are no or no one use jaPROe...) it works fine. Compiling and debugging (with the limitation of the DBPro debugger).
There is a compiler option, where you can include media files. There is no media preview at this time.

No, its not the same editor, its a conversion of it. (see Help/about for that topic)
@waffle:
The setup: Normally it does it automatically. It is a bug, or more an error by me, that is doesnt (later for that).
two ways to fix that:
1. open the file jaPRoe.pref in a editor and type in the correct path to DBPro. There are 4 Pathes saved here:
DarkBasicPath
CodeBasePath
HelpPath
DefaultDirectory - the names should be self explaining...
or 2. delete this file. jaPRoe should then start to search the pathes by itself. (My eror was that I didnt delete this file for the installer, so it installs the file - with my settings - and didnt not search it on your computer...)
You can make the file association manually in the preference-window, if you like, but it does that not automatically, thats right.
The features: I added a (very poor) list of the features (under HELP - features and known problems...). I would have a good documentation, too, but I had no time for that to do. Also a translation of the language file would maybe nice (for jaPBe are existing about 6 language files) - under LANGUAGE is a prog called translate. This will show the original english textfile and offer a easy way to translate it. (if someone translate it, it would be nice if they could send it to me, that I can add it tot the next release... and the same for a documentation.)
Generally I have to say, that I wrote /convert the IDE cos I love it to work with jaPBe. Then I thought that it would be fine to use it for DBP also, so i started to convert it. I liked most the possibilities to fold things and make own folds. This will improve the readability and for me: finding a piece of code to change fast.
For me it seems that only a few people are interested in jaPRoe. (except of TCA and dreamflower) I got no bug reports or opinions.
So last but not least: I work actually on my large project with jaPRoe it it runs fin for me. I (and TCA, dreamflower) found some bugs and things to improve. I´ll do this next month and then release a new version.
