Summary

Introduction

Java has gone through a significant transformation since its introduction almost three years ago. First thought of exclusively as an 'applet' language for the Internet, Java has matured into a scalable platform for delivering Intranet, Extranet, and Internet solutions. Used for anything from the "Tumbling Duke" Applet to distributed trade processing systems, Java is rapidly becoming the industry's platform and language of choice.

In talking to developers, we found the following key areas of Java development:

• Two-tier database client application development
• Web development using applets, HTML, and servlets
• Distributed client and server application development using CORBA
• Reusable JavaBean component creation

In addition, there are key emerging technologies that will certainly become staples in professional developer's toolkits, including the Java 2 Platform (JDK 1.2) and Enterprise JavaBeans.

JBuilder 3 uniquely delivers the key features required for productive Java development, including:

• Unrivaled support for the Java 2 platform to deliver the most reliable, scalable, and performant Java solutions.
• Visual tools and reusable components for rapidly creating platform-independent client/server applications, servlets, and applets.
• Completely integrated and automated CORBA support, including the industry's leading VisiBroker CORBA ORB, dramatically reducing the time and effort required to develop and deploy robust, high-availability CORBA clients, servers, and servlets.
• Components Wizards and designers for creating reusable JavaBeans and Enterprise JavaBeans

In today's environment measured in Internet time, the rapid application development tools in JBuilder 3 deliver the competitive edge needed for success.

This white paper describes the features added to JBuilder 3 since the release of JBuilder 2. Those new to JBuilder should read the JBuilder 3 Evaluators Guide for an overview of all JBuilder features, not just those new to JBuilder 3.

The features described in this white paper are available in JBuilder 3 Enterprise. For information on feature availability in other JBuilder versions, such as JBuilder 3 Professional, please refer to the JBuilder 3 Feature Matrix.
