IBM & NetObjects Partner To Support Java-Enabled Web Site Building BusinessWire, Friday, March 20, 1998 at 16:39 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.

Haim,re:"HWP". Don't be too critical of HP. Afterall, like SUNW said, it validates the 'Java-concept' and 'trend'. It's should be good news. It means the 'crack' on MSFT monopoly is sliced open slightly. Trace the problem INTEL has with the clones and AMD/CYRIX are not of same caliber as SUNW/HWP/(soon to be JVM builder). Sun has a Java-virutal-machine (according to JVM specification). HWP also has a Java-virtual-machine (same JVM specification). If one writes Java-compliance program, it runs on JVM, regardless of from HWP or SUNW. EXPECT MORE JVM to come, exclude MSFT. MSFT has its variety of J++, which is designed not to run on any Non-MSFT J++ compliance machine. As they said, one lives by the sword and dies by the sword. This only says the 'network-model' will be growing faster than the 'desk-top' model. HWP didn't break law or try to wrestle Java from Sunw or mess it up (like MSFT). It just business decision to cut cost ("execessvie" license fee). I feel positive on this news, but then WS says no to SUNW(actually, it is a down day for ALL/MOST TECH).
