SOMERS, NY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 20, 1998--
New NetObjects Fusion ProPack includes VisualAge for Java Professional
IBM & NetObjects today announced that they have joined forces to
support Java-enabled Web site building, by including IBM VisualAge for
Java Professional in the new NetObjects Fusion ProPack announced
today. The combination of NetObjects Fusion and VisualAge for Java
Professional provides Web developers with an integrated solution to
deliver Java-enabled Web sites as well as a stepping stone to
enterprise applications, data and transactions.
NetObjects Fusion ProPack is a collection of 7 complementary
products and applications to NetObjects Fusion that provide all the
key technologies necessary to build e-business Web sites. In addition
to VisualAge for Java Professional, the ProPack includes 4 sets of
Java components for dynamic database access to leading server
platforms from Allaire, Lotus, Netscape and Microsoft. Also included
in the ProPack are NetObjects Scriptbuilder, the first dedicated
script editor for the Web offering the fastest way to bring
client-side and server-side scripting to Web sites; and Lotus
BeanMachine for Java, a powerful java applet tool that adds
multimedia, special effects, smart forms, and live data capabilities
to your sites. (see separate release for details on ProPack.)
VisualAge for Java is IBM's award-winning Java development
environment aimed at professional Java developers. The tool allows
programmers to create Java applications and applets, as well as
JavaBean and custom NetObjects Fusion Components (NFX's). NFX's are
Java-encapsulated mini-applications that appear as page elements and
can be placed on any page. NetObjects Fusion users can then visually
add these components to their web pages to deliver critical business
capabilities, including data access, transactions, and other
application functionality.
"VisualAge for Java is a welcome addition to the NetObjects
family", said Dave Kleinberg, NetObjects' executive vice president of
products. "For Web developers that are implementing Java, NetObjects
Fusion ProPack opens up Web sites to build e-business applications in
Java. Web developers just getting started with Java, or seasoned Java
professionals can use this integrated solution to add new excitement
and connectivity to their NetObjects Fusion-managed Web sites.
"With VisualAge for Java added to the NetObjects Fusion ProPack,
Web developers can build Web solutions that exploit the full power of
Java," said Emilie McCabe, vice president of marketing, Application
Development and Object Technology at IBM. "In addition, easy migration
to IBM's VisualAge e-business allows developers to scale the
enterprise, extending the power of enterprise computing to the 'Net."
"VisualAge for Java has refined the landscape of client-server
development," said Loren Abdulezer, president of Evolving Technologies
Corporation. "The combination of VisualAge for Java and NetObjects
Fusion is a powerful way for Web developers to start the transition to
e-business."
Evolving Technologies Corporation, a New York-based web
developer, has developed Internet and intranet applications for many
industries, including banking and pharmaceuticals, with VisualAge
products.
