Sterling Software Announces New Java Development Tool for Enterprise-scale Distributed Internet Solutions COOL:Joe™ and Enterprise JavaBeans Offer Fast and Reliable path to eBusiness PLANO, Texas, September 22, 1999— Sterling Software, Inc.’s (SSW-NYSE) Application Development Group, today announced its newest eBusiness development tool for delivering enterprise-scale distributed systems using Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs). The product, named COOL:Joe, is a second-generation Java development environment that incorporates advanced component modeling and generation capabilities. This product enables IS organizations to make the most of their existing Java expertise; implement EJB technology without having to worry about the underlying EJB code; and focus instead, on delivering business solutions. COOL:Joe is currently in a limited availability release, and will be commercially available later this year as part of Sterling Software’s expanded set of eBusiness-focused application development and integration solutions. "At Unisys, our main objective is to develop IT applications that deliver the right business functionality, implemented using the most powerful technologies available. This means we need our developers to be able to deliver business solutions without having to all become experts in things like CORBA or EJB," said Dave Hiatt, software engineer at Unisys Corporation. "Sterling Software’s COOL:Joe is the type of technology that will allow our development team to do just that." With COOL:Joe, Java development teams will now be able to develop server-side Java objects for the enterprise faster and easier than ever before. "This product is a landmark addition to our component-oriented tools for eBusiness," said Mike Jones, COOL:Joe product line director for Sterling Software’s Application Development Group. "We are seeing that COOL:Joe’s strong modeling and generation capabilities are allowing developers to rapidly deliver EJB solutions without needing to know all the details of the underlying EJB technology – leaving them time to make sure they have their business rules right."
