Sun Microsystems Inc. plans to offer previews of the next releases of the enterprise version of Java and the NetBeans open-source developer tools platform. The company, in conjunction with the Java and NetBeans communities, is releasing the Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 5 Software Development Kit (SDK) and NetBeans Enterprise Pack 5.5. Java EE 5 specifications are expected to become final in the second quarter of 2006.
The Java EE 5 platform,
featured as part of the SDK, is intended to accelerate Web development through
increased support for JavaServer Faces (JSF) 1.2, annotations and
graphical user interface tools. JAX-WS 2.0 (Java API for XML-based Web
Services) and JAXB 2.0 (Java Architecture for XML Binding) are featured for
building Web services. The SDK includes a beta of the Sun Java System
Application Server Version 9, which serves as the basis for the SDK. The
application server is based on the Project GlassFish open-source application
server project.
”Enterprise JavaBeans and JSF support in Java EE 5 enable building of
Asynchronous JavaScript and XML Web clients. Java EE 5 is intended to simplify
use of Java, which has become more complex as it has aged,” said Ken Drachnik,
group product marketing manager for the application platform group at
Sun. "The theme of this release is to make Java simpler and easier
for programmers to use," Drachnik said.
NetBeans Enterprise Pack 5.5 serves as a preview of NetBeans 5.5. It includes a
pre-release of NetBeans 5.5 integrated development environment functions,
plus technologies previously available with the Java Studio Enterprise
developer tool, particularly Unified Modeling Language 2.0 capabilities.
Developers using the pack get access to tools enabling development on Java
EE 5 and supporting service-oriented architecture. NetBeans 5.5 is expected to
ship towards the end of 2006.
Sun is also announcing Sun Developer Service Plans (DSP), a program to shorten
the application development life cycle. The program leverages Sun
development tools when building enterprise applications for the Solaris 10
operating system and the Java Enterprise System. Featured are product
support and updates, training and programming advice.
DSP for Sun Studio 11 software are available now. Future versions of DSP for other
Sun technologies will be released next year.
