XAware Adds Support for Eclipse 3.4 | Print |

Combination of Eclipse IDE and leading commercial open source data integration solution gives developers advantage of speed and flexibility in creating data services 


COLORADO SPRINGS, October 29, 2008—XAware, Inc., a leading provider of commercial open source data integration software, today announced its upgraded support for Eclipse 3.4. This enhancement gives developers and architects the ability to use the latest version of the Eclipse development environment as they create composite data services for service-oriented architecture (SOA), rich Internet applications (RIA) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. A stable release is available immediately, and general availability is scheduled for early December.

XAware’s Eclipse-based designer features a visual drag-and-drop, wizard-based development environment. This simplifies and speeds the creation of composite data services, which can then be choreographed and re-used for a variety of business purposes. Built on key technical standards such as J2EE, XML, REST and Spring, XAware enhances the productivity of other development tools and frameworks by making it easy to access and integrate data to and from any source.

“Many of the nearly 200,000 people who have downloaded XAware since its February release rely on the Eclipse IDE,” said Kirstan Vandersluis, co-founder and chief scientist of XAware. “These developers can easily plug XAware in to their development environment and, within a short period of time, start building reusable data services for SOA and RIA applications. XAware dramatically reduces the cost and time it takes to integrate and mashup data from multiple systems.”

Recognized as one of 2008’s fastest growing open source projects, XAware supports a rapidly expanding community of developers and partners who enjoy the benefits of using a powerful, standards-based and cost effective solution for their data integration needs. XAware is available for free use under the GPLv2 license and via a commercial license. Service and support subscriptions are also available for purchase from XAware.
