Metrowerks Ships New Release of CodeWarrior for Java (tm)
Version 5.0 Brings Remote Debugging, Servlet Debugging and RAD to
Multiple Platform Java Development
AUSTIN, Texas-November 1, 1999-Metrowerks Inc. today announced the
availability of remote debugging, servlet debugging and RAD (Rapid
Application Development) for the Java platform with the release of
CodeWarrior for Java Version 5.0.
Demonstrating its commitment to the needs of Java developers,
Metrowerks has added Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools to
Version 5.0. RAD tools provide developers with a graphical layout
editor that allows them to build a graphical user interface (GUI) for
their Java programs with fast, drag-and-drop technology.
The addition of professional RAD tools is also important because it
makes it much easier for beginning or intermediate Java developers to
take advantage of the power of the CodeWarrior IDE (Integrated
Development Environment.) While previous releases have targeted the
expert programmer, Version 5.0 will allow anyone who wants to develop
for the Java platform to do so with significant speed and ease.
Version 5.0 also includes "wizards" that guide users through the
creation of Java applets, applications and JavaBeans (tm).
"As the Java platform matures and the number of Java applications
continues to proliferate, Metrowerks wants to ensure that developers
have the best tools available," said Luis Quiroga, product marketing
manager, Metrowerks. "We believe CodeWarrior for Java Version 5.0
makes it easy for Java developers at any skill level to build
applications that take advantage of the language's multi-platform
benefits."
Sun Microsystems' Java platform and programming language has numerous
utilities and plug-ins, making it a challenge for any tools vendor to
offer support with a single package. But CodeWarrior for Java Version
5.0 supports Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.1.x and 1.2.x. With
CodeWarrior for Java Version 5.0, programmers can create fully
compliant, 100% Pure Java applications.
CodeWarrior for Java allows for development, debugging and sharing of
source code on multiple host platforms, including Macintosh, Windows,
Solaris (tm) and, in a future version, Linux. Additionally, Version
5.0 allows remote debugging of applications across networked
computers. This multiple-platform support means that Java
applications developed with CodeWarrior for Java will work for
virtually all machines.
"Sun is happy to see Metrowerks' continued commitment to Java
platforms and its effort to always be among the first vendors to
incorporate and make available cutting-edge Java technologies with its
CodeWarrior IDEs," said Reza Nabavi, tools market development manager,
Sun Microsystems.
Remote Debugging Remote debugging allows you to debug applications
across networked computers and Internet devices. From a host system,
a remote debugging session can be conducted via a TCP/IP connection to
debug Java code on a device with a JDWP (Java Debugger Wire Protocol)
compliant virtual machine. Version 5.0 also supports servlet
debugging with Sun's Java Servlet Development Kit on Windows NT.
Java KL Group's Lite JavaBeans CodeWarrior for Java Version 5.0 is
bundled with KL Group's JClass LiveTable Lite and JClass Chart Lite
components. KL Group's Lite JavaBeans, when added to CodeWarrior,
give developers versatile tools that enhance the look and
functionality of their user interfaces. With these tools, developers
can easily build powerful grid and charting functionality into their
applications, all from the CodeWarrior IDE.

US$99 ESP (estimated street price) in the U.S., and is available from
Metrowerks and Metrowerks authorized resellers. Customers in the U.S.
