2 Agenda Application Development Strategy Overview Workbench and Eclipse WebSphere Studio Family WebSphere Studio Application Developer Transition From VA Java to Application Developer Application Developer Features WebSphere Studio Futures and URLs

3 WebSphere Studio Workbench Workbench is: Is a tool platform, not a product, not for sale An open, portable universal tool platform and integration technology Open tool integration platform based on IBM's Eclipse Project technology Provides frameworks and services that enables tool builders to focus on tooling building not on building tool infrastructure. Editor Frameworks UI Frameworks SCM Adapters and Team Programming models Resource Management and project management Globalization Debugging Has tools that help tool builders build tools The Tool Development Kit (TDK) Java Development Tools (JDT) Plugin Development Environment (PDE)

4 So, what is Eclipse then? IBM has donated Workbench to the open source community Code named the 'Eclipse Project' Classes are org.eclipse.* IBM Open Source License Eclipse became public when IBM Workbench-based tools GA'd What is the difference between Eclipse and Workbench? Licensing Some proprietary plugins for WebSphere or other IBM technologies Why give away such great technology? Linux Create a community of tool builders that are able to provide superior customer value WebSphere Studio Family An open tool platform contributed by IBM to an Indepedent open source organization

5 Workbench provides for Plugable JDK, JRE Enables support for multiple unit test platforms WebSphere, Tomcat - test platforms ship with WSSD, WSAD, WSED Support for open technologies CVS, Ant, Xerces, Rhino, Tomcat,... Perspectives Perspectives are custom sets of views of the workspace that allow the user to work with only the tool elements that are needed for particular task Based on file or artifact type Use predefined perspectives or build your own Role-based Development Task-oriented Development Tool Plugin Workbench Eclipse Product
