ILOG Launches First Comprehensive Graphics Toolkit for Eclipse
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and PARIS, March 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
ILOG(R) (Nasdaq: ILOG; Euronext: ILO; ISIN: FR0004042364), a
leading provider of enterprise-class software components and
services, today announced the first commercial Java graphics
toolkit to support the widely adopted Eclipse Platform -- the ILOG
JViews(TM) 6.5 family of products. The Eclipse Platform is an open
extensible integrated development environment (IDE) that provides
building blocks and a foundation for constructing and using
integrated software-development tools. With the release of ILOG
JViews 6.5, ILOG underscores its ongoing commitment to important
standards bringing feature-rich displays to an even broader base of
developers' worldwide. "The rate at which Eclipse has grown over
the past two years -- its adoption and influence -- has been
extraordinary, and we're thrilled that ILOG is basing its rich,
graphical displays on Eclipse," said Mike Milinkovich, executive
director, Eclipse Foundation. "With tools like JViews, we
anticipate the Eclipse growth rate to gain even more momentum
allowing developers to go from A to Z with displays that convey
more and better information than before." In this latest release,
ILOG takes advantage of a new "bridge" which enables developers of
Eclipse user interfaces to include Java-based display components.
Software developers now can embed rich, graphical Java displays
such as charts, diagrams, maps, and schedule displays into their
Eclipse-based applications. Packaged as standalone products, the
ILOG JViews family includes JViews Diagrammer 6.5, JViews Charts
6.5, JViews Gantt 6.5, JViews Maps 6.5, and JViews Telecom Graphic
Objects (JTGO) 4.5, and is designed so that users have greater
visibility, collaboration and control to create graphics
applications. For example, in the latest version of JTGO 4.5, the
leading tool for building Operational Support System (OSS)
interfaces, ILOG added new levels of support for the efficient
management of complex networks, including features for creating
ready-to-use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) consoles. In
addition, the latest releases of Diagrammer 6.5, Charts 6.5 and
Gantt 6.5 now support the JavaServer Faces standard, which make it
easier to deploy visual and interactive applications in the form of
rich web-based clients. The new JViews releases also support the
latest Java platform, J2SE 5.0. Using ILOG's new JViews products,
developers can save 50 to 80 percent of development time in
creating sophisticated graphical user displays, while making vast
quantities of data more comprehensible and manageable to their
business users. ILOG joined the Eclipse consortium in February 2004
and in June 2004 introduced ILOG Business Rule Studio(TM) Developer
Edition built entirely on the Eclipse IDE and ILOG JRules(TM). ILOG
JRules, a key offering of ILOG's Business Rule Management System
(BRMS) product family, is already widely acknowledged as being the
easiest product of its kind to integrate with the Java environment.
Joining Eclipse has helped ensure that business rules are fully
integrated in the entire application development lifecycle. The new
JViews 6.5 products will be available early March 2005 and will
ship with examples for use as plug-ins for the Eclipse IDE. For
