JBuilder 3rd Party Press Release

LIVE SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR BORLAND'S JBUILDER 2
Live Software Java™ Servlet products to support JBuilder 2

    SAN FRANCISCO -- March 24, 1998 -- Live Software, Inc. today announced ServletDebugger 2.0, an enhanced version of its acclaimed servlet support tool, for Borland International, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:BORL) JBuilder 2, the new version of Borland's award-winning family of visual development tools for building corporate and enterprise software applications with the Java programming language. Both announcements were made as a part of Sun Microsystem's JavaOne developer conference being held here this week (booth #527).

    ServletDebugger 2.0 allows for the testing and debugging of Java Servlet code from within the JBuilder development environment. ServletDebugger 2 has an integrated server and servlet engine, allowing for real-world testing of servlet code without leaving the development environment. Java Servlets are platform-independent, server-side programs written using the Java Servlet API, part of the Java platform. Java Servlets bring the power of "Write Once, Run AnywhereÖ," Safe Network Delivery, and Smart Card to Supercomputer scalability to server-side extensions. Traditional CGI applications and extensions written in Perl, C/C++, or other languages, can be replaced through the use of servlets. By using Servlets as an extensible, well-defined cross-platform environment, sophisticated applications for both client and server become easier to develop, faster to deploy and more cost effective to maintain.

    "We are pleased to provide servlet support for JBuilder 2, the premier Java development system," said Paul Colton, president of Live Software. "JBuilder customers will now be able to speed up their development process and write client/server applications faster and easier with the new ServletDebugger 2.0."

    "Live Software is the leading provider of servlet technology and its integration with JBuilder is seamless," said Zack Urlocker, Borland's vice president of marketing. "Live Software's tools will let our customers more quickly develop and deploy their enterprise and client/server applications."

    Pricing and Availability
    ServletDebugger 2 and a white paper entitled "Building Java Servlets with JBuilder" will be available from the Live Software website at www.livesoftware.com during the second quarter of 1998. Pricing will be announced at a later date.
