The title says it all really. With the options available in MyEclipse compared to the high costs, weight, and vendor lock-in of IBM Rational® tools - you could lose your job investing in these overly expensive IBM® legacy solutions.
But you do have options in MyEclipse, and today we are pleased to announce the immediate availability of MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench 9.1, MyEclipse Blue Edition 9.1 and MyEclipse for Spring 9.1. Specifically, MyEclipse Blue Edition is the smartest and most useful developer tool stack on the market for enterprises needing the power of IBM®-centric technologies without any of the hassles mentioned above.
For MyEclipse Blue users (a clear alternative to IBM Rational® at only US $160 annually), a new In-Workspace technology dramatically reduces project deployment time down to a few seconds and is designed to synchronize the resources and code that is handled by WebSphere® directly. This mode is most appropriate for rapid application evolution while debugging projects in real time.
Beyond our support for Java EE6 and HTML5, developers now have the power to benefit from specialized technologies such as the EJB Deploy tool for EAR or EJB projects, which can be deployed to WebSphere 6.1 up to the current version 8. This brand new technology allows developers to turn off the EJB deploy step during deployment resulting in a much faster deployment experience. Run the EJB Deploy manually only when required to save loads of time and valuable system resources.
MyEclipse Standard, Pro and Spring users also have access to improved Cocoa Support, so when installing on OS X Cocoa based systems, users now get the option of choosing between Carbon 32-bit, Cocoa 32-bit or Cocoa 64-bit.
Other key enhancements include several new JavaScript code analysis modes to allow users to tailor the JavaScript feature set to suit their specific needs while saving on memory and performance issues. And ICEfaces 2 is now supported, it is a development framework based on the JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2 standard; it extends JSF to simplify development and enhance the standard JSF feature set. Additional support includes JPA 2.0 with the Eclipselink 2.1 and Apache's OpenJPA 2.0 implementations included in the products.
