For anybody that doesn't know...
A free third-party plugin to support a scrollwheel can be found at http://czerwonykapturek.tripod.com/jbWheel/jbwheel.html .
I've been using it with JBuilder 7 Enterprise and have been very satisfied with it.

You do not need this plugin. Simply install jdk1.4.1 and change your jdk.config file to use it. Here is an example for jbuilder 6 but should be the same for you.
let's say you install id dir /j2sdk1.4.1
then change your c:\jbuilder6\bin\jdk.config file as follows

javapath /j2sdk1.4.1/bin/java
addpath /j2sdk1.4.1/lib/tools.jar
Now restart jbuilder and you have mouse wheel support without having to use a plugin. BTW you can still compile with whatever compiler you want. I use jdk1.4.1 to run jbuilder but compile my code using 1.2.2-008

Charles,
Welcome to JavaRanch!
Thanks for the tip. With JBuilder 7 I was able to implement a similar change. The original jdk.config file settings were:
javapath ../jdk1.3.1/jre/bin/hotspot/jvm.dll
addpath ../jdk1.3.1/lib/tools.jar
I just commented those out and figured out that
javapath G:/j2sdk1.4.1/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll
addpath G:/j2sdk1.4.1/lib/tools.jar
gets the job done.

I changed the jdk.config files as suggested on a few different installations of JB7 Personal and Enterprise Edition, and while it did add wheel mouse support in the code view mode, it did not add wheel mouse support in other views (such as doc). The bigger problem concerned weird behavior of the code pop-ups (the keyboard would become... ignored to a large extent) which was experienced on all test installations. I undid the changes and the problems disappeared. I haven't had any problems with the free open tool mentioned above.
