“Inprise/Borland (Nasdaq: INPR) today announced three key
developments in the company’s mission to offer the best enterprise
software solutions to help companies bring their businesses to the
Internet. They include an agreement to license Java 2
Enterprise Edition (J2EE) from Sun Microsystems; joining the
Executive Committee (EC) of the Java Community Process (JCP); and
winning the Java Pro’s Reader’s Choice Award Best Java IDE, for
Inprise/Borland’s popular JBuilder product.”
“As a member of the Executive Committee and a J2EE licensee, we
are excited to strengthen our relationship with Sun,” said Dale
Fuller, interim president and chief executive officer of
Inprise/Borland. “We are thrilled with the success of our JBuilder
products in the marketplace and will continue to support Sun’s
major technologies with our JBuilder, Application Server, and
AppCenter products.”
“Licensing J2EE allows Inprise/Borland to offer customers the
latest Java technology through its award-winning Inprise(TM)
Application Server and AppCenter products. The new Inprise
Application Server 4.1 is one of the industry’s first application
servers to support the J2EE standard and combine the benefits of

CORBA, enhances the management capabilities of the application
server market and enables customers to better handle the increased
