Inprise and Sun Partner On Java Tools For Solaris
nprise Corp. and Sun Microsystems revealed plans yesterday
to codevelop Java tools for Sun's Solaris operating system.
JavaSoft president Alan Baratz included the disclosure in
his keynote address at Inprise's annual user conference in
Denver.
Inprise, formerly Borland International, hopes the partnership will lead to business wins in vertical markets such as finance and telecommunications that employ large- scale environments like Solaris. Inprise surprised attendees at the conference with a demonstration of its Windows tools, Delphi, generating Java code. Sun and Inprise are continuing to consult with users to ease the transition from Sun's object request broker technology, NEO ORB, to Visigenic's VisiBroker for Java and Visibroker for C++ ORB technology, which Inprise acquired last year.
Availability dates and pricing for the tools were not announced.
