SUN LAUNCHES JAVA STUDIO
ENTERPRISE
Sun Microsystems Inc announced Java Studio Enterprise, a comprehensive,
cost-effective, unified development system that integrates development tools,
services and support for building and testing world-class applications for the
Java Enterprise System.
"Java Enterprise System and Java Studio Enterprise signal a new era for
application platforms and developer tools," said Rich Green, senior vice
president of Software Developer Platforms Group at Sun. "This integrated
development system can reduce cost and complexity, and accelerate the
development of secure network services spanning enterprise servers, desktops
and mobile clients. The powerful combination of the Java Enterprise System and
Java Studio Enterprise delivers on Sun's commitment to offer our customers
serious software made simple."
Following the pricing model of the Java Enterprise System, the Java Studio
Enterprise offering is priced at $5 per employee when ordered as a companion
to the Java Enterprise System, or $1,895 USD if purchased separately. Targeted
at Java Enterprise System developers, Java Studio Enterprise includes full
access and support from the Sun Developer Network and associated developer
resources from Sun.
Dana Gardner, senior analyst of application infrastructure and software
platforms at Yankee Group said, "Enterprises want to radically simplify the
software lifecycle, from evaluation to procurement, and from deployment and
optimization through to maintenance. By taking a holistic approach to
development and deployment, and through an innovative pricing paradigm, Java
Studio Enterprise forms an important step toward simplification. It should
offer enterprises an economical and swift way to assemble and distribute a
portfolio of scalable enterprise software services."
Java Studio Enterprise integrates all the tools, development versions of
the
enterprise servers, rich documentation, samples and blueprints to enhance the
developer experience, including additional support with a Premium membership
in the Sun Developer Network. The development system combines all the tools
necessary to build modern, Web-based enterprise applications, including a
fast, full-feature Java IDE, Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) tools and
wizards, Web service creation and assembly tools, portal channel builder,
integration connector builder, and one-button deploy tools for application and
Web servers. Java Studio Enterprise also includes a set of development servers
that allows for simplified testing against the Java Enterprise System
including the latest versions of Sun's application server, Web server,
integration server and portal server.
Java Studio Enterprise also offers a comprehensive list of developer
services
including access to e-mail support, moderated forums and diverse technical
content that aids the developer in building large-scale applications through
close developer-to-developer interactions. More information can be found at
www.java.sun.com.
The Java Enterprise System is a core set of open network services that are
the
foundation for world-class business applications. With the Java Enterprise
System, Sun converges its software offerings into a predictable, scheduled
quarterly release of an integrated software system distributed on the Solaris
Operating System, Solaris for x86 and Linux. Java Studio Enterprise
complements the Java Enterprise System by providing the sophisticated tools
and resources that offer the developer an integrated systems approach with the
complexity engineered out.
