Along with Genuitec, we are thrilled to announce a break-through in IDEs with the release of “MyEclipse Bling.” While the term is slang for flashy jewelry, the name has its roots in a combination of two revolutionary products, MyEclipse Blue Edition (the smart alternative to Rational® tooling) and MyEclipse for Spring:

Blue + Spring = Bling

What’s flashy about MyEclipse Bling? It’s a break-through technology allowing IBM® shops to fully and completely adopt Spring technologies in their WebSphere®-deployable applications all the way from inception through production release.

This is a revolutionary product launch for Genuitec and Skyway, our clients asked if we could support WebSphere the way they needed; they asked for the advanced tooling already available in MyEclipse for Spring; and asked if we would be willing to stay true to our low pricing models in a combined offering. We delivered on those requests by building a software development environment that is a smart alternative to Rational® in price and ease of use, while providing industry-leading Spring development tools. It really does allow IBM® shops to achieve the most value – and power – when using WebSphere.®

Bling seamlessly integrates with WebSphere® to deploy rich applications, while using Spring code generation tools to create many project types simultaneously. With Bling, you can scaffold and bootstrap projects for iPhone, Adobe Flex, Spring MVC, Spring Web Flow, JSF 2.0 and more, even readying projects for Google App Engine if desired. MyEclipse Bling is current too, in a bleeding edge sort of way, with support for Java EE 6, HTML 5, control of EJB and EAR deployments, Windows and Linux support, ICEFaces 2, JSF 2.0 and JPA 2.0. There are world class Java Editors, HTML Editors, Inspectors, Maven, Hibernate, ALM dashboards (look it up, it’s really cool), project team synchronization, and lots more.

Why bother with the laundry list? It’s because many companies that utilize WebSphere® are becoming wary of the limits that IBM Rational® tools force upon users: high costs of ownership, heavyweight installations and lack of advanced support for popular open source technologies. Bling has the key tools discerning shops need to keep pace in today’s elastic technology environments.

Bling is only $250 compared to, well, everyone who makes powerful, expensive IDEs and then asks more for support, asks more money for upgrades and even more for your infrastructure upgrades required to run it all.

The title says it all really. With the options available in MyEclipse compared to the high costs, weight, and vendor lock-in of IBM Rational tools – you could lose your job investing in these overly expensive IBM legacy solutions.

But you do have options in MyEclipse and today we are pleased to announce the immediate availability of MyEclipse Workbench Enterprise Edition 9.1, MyEclipse Blue Edition 9.1 and MyEclipse for Spring 9.1. Specifically, MyEclipse Blue Edition is the smartest and most useful developer tool stack on the market for enterprises needing the power of IBM®-centric technologies without any of the hassles mentioned above.

For MyEclipse Blue users (a clear alternative to IBM Rational® at only US $160 annually), a new In-Workspace technology dramatically reduces project deployment time down to a few seconds and is designed to synchronize the resources and code that is handled by WebSphere® directly. This mode is most appropriate for rapid application evolution while debugging projects in real time.

Beyond our support for Java EE6 and HTML5, developers now have the power to benefit from specialized technologies such as the EJB Deploy tool for EAR or EJB projects, which can be deployed to WebSphere 6.1 up to the current version 8. This brand new technology allows developers to turn off the EJB deploy step during deployment resulting in a much faster deployment experience. Run the EJB Deploy manually only when required to save loads of time and valuable system resources.

MyEclipse Standard, Pro and Spring users also have access to improved Cocoa Support, so when installing on OS X Cocoa based systems, users now get the option of choosing between Carbon 32-bit, Cocoa 32-bit or Cocoa 64-bit.

Other key enhancements include several new JavaScript code analysis modes to allow users to tailor the JavaScript feature set to suit their specific needs while saving on memory and performance issues. And ICEfaces 2 is now supported, it is a development framework based on the JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2 standard; it extends JSF to simplify development and enhance the standard JSF feature set. Additional support includes JPA 2.0 with the Eclipselink 2.1 and Apache’s OpenJPA 2.0 implementations included in the products.

Subscriptions to MyEclipse, MyEclipse Pro, MyEclipse for Spring and MyEclipse Blue Editions are available annually for about US $30, $60, $99 and $160 respectively. A feature list delineating the unique focus of each product is available on http://www.myeclipseide.com.

MyEclipse, Blue Edition and MyEclipse for Spring are available at:http://www.myeclipseide.com, and all offer 30-day free trial periods. Free trial users and those with current subscriptions receive all upgrades and full support at no additional charge.

Genuitec and Skyway Software are conducting a free webinar to demonstrate their latest Google Cloud focused technology, MyEclipse G. The “G” represents the product’s laser focus on Google Cloud technologies.

As seen at Google I/O…

The one hour-long sneak peek will cover the following:

• Software automation for Google Web Toolkit, Android, and Google App Engine
• Tools for producing cloud-ready Android phone and tablet applications in minutes
• Integration with Google services and APIs

Live from Google I/O, we’re pleased to announce the newest IDE on the market; “MyEclipse G.” The “G” showcases our laser-focus on Google development technologies for the cloud. As with all our product lines, MyEclipse G is a robust solution designed for an easy user experience while creating multiple frameworks for Google App Engine. The simple-to-use cloud studio-type functionality automates project architecture and implementation, all with very little time investment from you, the developer or business user.

MyEclipse G website / MyEclipse G early access program

MyEclipse G provides developers with a high-productivity environment to accomplish multiple application development tasks at once; such as simultaneously creating cloud-ready applications for Google Web Toolkit (GWT), Android, Sitebricks, Google Guice, JSF 2.0, Adobe Flex, and more.

The easy-to-use UI generates complete “create, read, update and delete” (CRUD) applications for Google App Engine (GAE) and GAE for Business. MyEclipse G auto-generates all layers from the UI to services and data access all the while integrated with Google Guice. Developers can chose whether their application runs on GAE for Business with JPA and Hibernate or if they will run on regular GAE using Objectify.

It provides Android native client generation that new users will find ready-to-use and easy to understand. Business users can create standalone or networked Android apps that are ready for cloud deployment in just a few minutes. Building networked apps included data synchronization for online and offline use, and anyone can generate code from existing domain models, including DB reverse engineering.

MyEclipse G supports Java EE 6 and HTML5, and is built on the latest Eclipse release, Helios.

When you have a moment, please sign up for the early access program as we’d love to hear your feedback on our exciting new technology.

Cheers!

And here’s the team today at Google I/O 2011.  We’re demonstrating MyEclipse G on the show floor and talking directly with developers for feedback. Thanks for inviting us Google!

A little later in the day, here we are showing off our wares to folks (5/10/11)

And here’s links for coverage on PRWeb and at the renowned software developer publication,  Dr. Dobb’s Journal.

We’ve got some exciting news… Google asked Skyway Software and our partner Genuitec to attend this year’s Google I/O Sandbox to demonstrate our soon-to-be-released IDE, “MyEclipse G.” Without giving away too much information just yet, this new IDE is designed for Google Cloud development in elastic computing environments and aims to bring everyday enterprise developers into the cloud using Google tools and our own proprietary technologies.

Use the link below to watch the teaser video, and if you would please vote for it as the “Best Google I/O Sandbox Video” in the orange box above the video. Also, please visit this website to take a quick 2 minute survey so we can gauge your interest in the types of technologies you’d like to see in the future for cloud development. Thanks!
