Tuesday April 11, 2006 Enterprise Java Tools Opened - In Brazil
Following on from the CDC tools, as James notes, we're announcing today that the heart of Sun Java Studio Enterprise - including especially the modelling tools - is becoming an open source project at NetBeans, the Netbeans Enterprise Pack. This is an important next step in the gradual open sourcing of Sun's software - kudos to the tools team for this bold step.
One footnote: this announcement is in support of the Java Tech Days event down in Brazil this week. Open source is a global phenomenon, even for a US-based company like Sun, and Brazil is ne of the key countries to watch as the phenomenon develops - hence my visit to FISL next week where I will be discussing the forthcoming GPL v3.
