WebSphere Studio Application Developer

Overview

-----------------------

	Award-winning IBM WebSphere® Studio Application Developer is a comprehensive integrated development environment for visually designing, constructing, testing and deploying Web services, portals and Java™ 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications. WebSphere Studio Application Developer accelerates J2EE development with a complete set of high productivity tools, templates and wizards.
	Built on eclipse, an open, industry-supported platform for development tools, WebSphere Studio Application Developer enables you to adapt and extend your development environment with best-of-breed plug-in tools from IBM, IBM Business Partners and the Eclipse community to match your needs and to maximize developer productivity.
	Accelerate the development, testing and deployment of multi-tier J2EE applications and EJB components using visual tools, wizards and editors.
	Manage complex code using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) Visual Editor for Java and EJB to graphically visualize and edit J2EE code with standard UML diagrams.
	Rapidly develop portal applications using visual portlet tools that support JavaServer Faces components for rich user interfaces and the Struts framework for visualizing application flows and ensuring maintainability. Quickly test portal applications using the IBM WebSphere Portal unit test environment.
	Detect performance issues early with graphical performance profiling and trace tools.
	Collaborate and share assets across the team using the included IBM Rational ClearCase LT version control.
	Use drag and drop tools to quickly build rich Web user interfaces and Web forms using standards-based JavaServer Faces components. read the entire list at http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/studioappdev/
	Build interactive Web user interfaces with the performance and maintenance characteristics of thin clients using standards-based JSF extensions that execute within the browser.
	Save time connecting Web applications to relational databases and Web services using simple point-and-click tools that support an early version of Service Data Objects, an emerging industry standard for accessing heterogeneous data.
	Integrate and re-use business applications by discovering and using existing Web services, Web service-enabling existing applications or building interoperable Web services from scratch.
	Leverage existing 4GL skills to develop and debug data-driven Web applications and business logic using a high-level procedural language that generates Java code for deployment.
	Create Java applications with drag and drop ease using Swing and AWT components. See GUI design changes immediately with dynamic updates between source code and visual design.
	Accelerate Web development and make your applications easier to maintain using Struts tools for visually mapping and constructing applications.
	Streamline application testing with visual debuggers and built-in unit test environments for IBM WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Portal and Apache Tomcat.
