JBuilder 3rd Party Press Release

KL GROUP ADDS INDUSTRY-LEADING JCLASS COMPONENTS TO BORLAND'S JBUILDER JAVA DEVELOPMENT TOOL SUITE

    TORONTO, ONTARIO -- July 14, 1997 -- KL Group Inc. announced today that its JClass Java components will be integrated with Borland's JBuilder family of visual Java development tools to be released this quarter. JBuilder's high-performance tools enable developers to create 100% Pure Java™ platform-independent applications, applets and JavaBeans™. With KL Group's JavaBeans incorporated into JBuilder, developers can easily build powerful grid and charting functionality into their applications.

    Borland JBuilder is one of the first Java development environments to completely support JavaSoft's JDK 1.1, JDBC and the JavaBeans component model. This support enables developers to integrate the KL Group JavaBeans with other components and use JavaBeans as building blocks to facilitate rapid application development.

    "By including the KL Group JavaBeans in JBuilder, we are able to enhance our environment with some of the industry's leading pure Java components," said Zack Urlocker, Borland's vice president of product management. "The top-quality JClass widgets contribute to JBuilder's highly-productive, visual development toolset."

    "The JBuilder component architecture and its full support for the JavaBean standard make it a leading tool for professional JavaBeans development," said Greg Kiessling, president at KL Group. "JBuilder is ideal for development with third-party JavaBeans, like JClass from KL Group, within an easy-to-use environment."

    Each version of JBuilder will include the following products from KL Group's JClass family:

    • JClass BWT: an essential Java GUI toolkit that enhances and extends AWT with over 20 components.
    • JClass LiveTable: a flexible and powerful Java grid/table control to easily display and manipulate tables and forms.
    • JClass Chart: a powerful component to embed sophisticated graphs and charts.
