Genuitec sets IBM, Java tools

Assistance with Eclipse Ganymede also offered as Genuitec upgrades its IDEs

Genuitec, maker of Eclipse-based developer tools, has unveiled upgraded IDEs for IBM WebSphere and Java as well as assistance for utilizing the new Eclipse Ganymede project release

The company this week introduced MyEclipse 6.5 Blue Edition, an application lifecycle management platform and IDE for IBM WebSphere. In this version, users can run multiple WebSphere server instances and migrate WebSphere Studo Application Developer and Rational Application Developer projects to MyEclipse Blue Edition.

Featured are technologies such as Maven4MyEclipse, which is an implementation of the Maven project management and build service for MyEclipse. Users also get support for the WebSphere 6.0 portal server; the combination of the portal server and Maven4MyEclipse provide ways to maintain a project lifecycle, according to Genuitec.

"We're very pleased to be able to offer WebSphere developers more depth in their use of MyEclpse Blue from an ALM perspective," said Wayne Parrott, Genuitec vice president of product development, in a statement released by the company.

Also supported are such open-source technologies as the Spring Java framework, Hibernate object-relational mapping software, Java Persistence Architecture, and the Matisse Swing GUI Designer. Additionally, version 6.5 backs Java Specification Request 168 for portlets, WebSphere-compatible Web services, and Web 2.0 feature packs, which feature JavaScript support.

MyEclipse Blue Edition costs $150 per year.

Genuitec this week also unveiled Pulse 2.2, a free tool to obtain and manage Eclipse Ganymede and plugins. Ganymede features the simultaneous release of 23 project updates by Eclipse on Wednesday.

Users of Pulse can move to Ganymede, stick with the previous Eclipse Europa stack or utilize both in separate tools configurations.

Pulse 2.2 also features a catalog of plugins. The accompanying Pulse Desktop Express service provides a way to customize their Pulse distribution delivery system and is offered via a special arrangement.

Eclipse late last week announced availability of MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench 6.5, a Java IDE featuring Maven4MyEclipse. Other features of release 6.5 include MyEclipse Portlet tools, an upgrade to Spring IDE 2.0 for MyEclipse, JavaServer Faces support, and an Icefaces 1.7 JSF AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) UI component update. Web and UML tool updates are featured as well.
