Genuitec Rolls Out MyEclipse 5.0 Enterprise Workbench

Genuitec, LLC, has rolled out MyEclipse 5.0 Enterprise Workbench, a major product release with a number of new features. The company hopes these new capabilities will further MyEclipse’s position as one of the leading integrated development environment (IDE) for building high-performance, Enterprise Java, web and database applications. On offer are new features that provide testing and support needed to provide developers with a rich and successful experience developing Eclipse-based applications. With fully integrated features such as the Matisse4MyEclipse user interface builder and AJAX/Web 2.0 Tools, Genuitec claims to provide a rich toolset that transcends the Java application development lifecycle, from heavyweight J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) development to lighter weight Java-based alternative frameworks such as Hibernate and Spring.

MyEclipse 5.0 Enterprise Workbench, the first publicly available IDE to be compatible with the Eclipse 3.2 and Callisto product offerings, allows developers to make use of these popular new projects without interoperability concerns.

“MyEclipse 5.0 represents a significant advance in how developers work with IDEs and redefines a new level of value with overwhelming features at near free cost,” says Maher Masri, president of Genuitec. “Our relentless effort to continue enhancing the workbench and to stay in lockstep with Eclipse releases guarantee our customers' access to the latest technology with a standards-based toolset that provides increased productivity and results in higher quality applications.”

MyEclipse 5.0 Enterprise Workbench incorporates the following significant capabilities and enhancements for Eclipse and Open Source developers:

• Notably, the MyEclipse 5.0 release integrates the popular Matisse4MyEclipse Swing UI designer directly into MyEclipse
• Web Service Support including template-based web development factory
• Hibernate 3.1 and Spring 2.X support includes new wizards to create and drop database tables, indexes, and foreign key relationships.
• Extended database support for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase features

• Eclipse 3.2 compatibility and support is available worldwide.
• Visual Web Designer tools are available on Linux and Mac OS/X.
• AJAX Tools are available on Linux and Mac OS/X.
• New Websphere 6.1, Sun Java Application Server System 9.0, and Glassfish 1.0 application server connectors
