【摘要】Java development will become markedly easier if upcoming technologies from Eclipse Foundation and Sun Microsystems Inc. live up to their promise. Version 3.0 of the open source Eclipse platform, focuses on improving the Java integrated development environment (IDE) and on serving as a Rich Client Platform for tools integration and client application development. Sun Java Studio Creator, the company's purported easy-to-use Java tool for building workgroup and departmental applications will be a major theme of the JavaOne Conference in June 2004. To boost the IDE, Eclipse has simplified installation, improved customization of menus and toolbars and added a role- and experience-based approach for managing workbench features. The Rich Client Platform functionality in Version 3.0 provides a framework for universal application integration. Through the platform, developers can construct general-purpose client applications out of Eclipse framework components. Also, the Eclipse environment now can scale to thousands of plug-ins. Sun Java Studio Creator will enable development of components based on web services, code snippets, Hypertext Markup Language forms, Java servlets and JSP. Components can also be built based on JavaServer Faces and Java technology Rowsets for database access.
