| Summary: | Looking to be one of the first out of the starting gates in the emerging embedded Java race, IBM Corp. announced the beta version of VisualAge for Embedded Systems, Java Technology Edition. VisualAge for Embedded Systems, Java Technology Edition, is an add-on developers' workbench for Java tools, which allows developers to take advantage of Java technology and components to bring embedded systems applications to market faster, a task which, according to the company, was slow and expensive because developers had to build each application one at a time, designing them for use on a specific device. According to Joe Damassa, vice-president, application development marketing in the software solutions division at IBM, the new VisualAge includes IBM's embedded Java (EJava) virtual machine runtime, class libraries for target platforms, testing and debugging tools, tools for building Java runtimes as small as 27KB and a set of reusable components for connections to back-end applications. |
