NetBeans Announces End-to-End Java Development Solution through
Integrations with Leading Java UML and Debugging Vendors.
JavaOne, San Francisco, June 17th, 1999 – NetBeans announced
integrations of its Java IDE (integrated development environment)
NetBeans Developer 3.0 with Together/J 3.0 UML (Unified Modeling
Language) tool from Object International and with Metamata Debug,
the leading Java debugging environment from Metamata, Inc.
Developer 3.0 is written in Java 2 and enables rapid construction
of Java applications on any Java 2 platform. Publicly available
this summer, its modular, open architecture gives developers the
power to extend their development environment with plug-in modules
from NetBeans and a wide variety of third parties.
“Developer 3.0 is the first cross-platform Java development
environment that is able to evolve along with the Java 2 platform,”
said Ian Formanek, Vice President of Development at NetBeans, Inc.
“Our open, modular architecture and close partnerships with the
leading Java tools vendors gives developers the power and
flexibility to construct bleeding edge applications.”
“Metamata Debug is the only Java debugger in the market capable
of running on any Java platform and attaching to and debugging Java
applications running on any Java platform,” said Sriram Sankar,
President and CEO of Metamata, Inc. “With the growing use of Java
for server side and embedded applications, the unique features of
Metamata Debug together with Developer 3.0 will be a must for any
Java developer.”
Peter Coad, President of Object International, said, “NetBeans
Developer 3.0 is a very clean programming environment–all of the
power, none of the clutter. Adding TJ Whiteboard brings the triad
of UML features that enterprise developers more and more insist
upon: patterns, components, and simultaneous round-trip
engineering.”
NetBeans Developer 3.0 is a complete Java integrated development
environment (IDE). Written in Java 2, it runs on any Java 2 enabled
platform such as Windows, Solaris, or Linux. Developer 3.0 is
designed for client-side development of Java applications and has a
complete feature set for integrated visual design, testing,
editing, compilation, and execution. The upcoming Developer 3.0 Pro
powers developers’ production of database and servlet applications.
Developer 3.0 Enterprise Edition merges support for EJB, CORBA,
RMI, and JNDI into a single object-oriented environment. Through
wizards and templates, Enterprise speeds up the development and
deployment of distributed applications, while the underlying object
technology automatically keeps interfaces and implementations
synchronized. Metamata Debug 1.1 is a true cross-platform network
aware debugger for any kind of Java application (standalone,
applet, servlet, EJB, embedded systems, etc.). It is capable of
attaching to and debugging Java applications running anywhere on
the network. It is the only debugger that can debug directly within
any web browser, web server, or embedded system. It can debug both
JDK 1.1 and Java 2 (JDK 1.2) applications. Other unique features of
Metamata Debug include a command line interpreter (enabling rapid
prototyping), strong multiprocess and multithread support,
graphical object browsing, and static debugging. Together/J 3.0 is
a platform-independent modeling tool that increases productivity
and effectiveness of large development organizations. It delivers
patterns, components simultaneous round-trip engineering for Java
as well as all UML 1.3 diagrams. NetBeans Enterprise will be
integrated with Together/J Whiteboard and all versions of NetBeans
will allow users to download Together/J as a plug-in module.
NetBeans and Object International will be showing the integration
at JavaOne.
