Gentleware Unveils New Apollo for Eclipse and openArchitectureWare Eclipse Distribution
Hamburg, Germany - October 24, 2007 - Gentleware AG, a leader in innovative visual modeling tools, announced today the newest release of the top-rated Apollo for Eclipse version 3.0, with a primary focus on enhanced productivity and stability. Brand new from Gentleware, the new openArchitectureWare Eclipse distribution, which bundles the oAW framework with Eclipse and all dependencies, was also introduced to the community. Apollo for Eclipse is a robust and flexible modeling extension to Eclipse for software developers who want to flexibly combine the advantages of visual modeling using UML (Unified Modeling Language) with programming in Java. The uniquely intuitive modeling tool provides a powerful feature set such as roundtrip engineering for Java 5 and superior scalability to make developers more productive. Version 3.0 adds support for Eclipse Europa (Eclipse 3.3), discovery functionality to explore related classes, configurable array dimensions, and more. Since its debut in October 2006, Apollo for Eclipse is consistently one of the top-rated plugins at the Eclipse plugin directory Eclipse Plugin Central (EPIC at http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com). Also highly praised and top-rated by the EPIC community is the openArchitectureWare model-driven software development (MDSD) generator framework, to which Gentleware is also a committer and strong advocate. openArchitectureWare (oAW) supports arbitrary model parsing, transformations, and code generation to build new MDSD tools; prebuilt workflow components can be used for reading and instantiating models, checking them for constraint violations, transforming them into other models, and generating code. As a convenience to the community, Gentleware is pleased to be able to offer the oAW framework bundled with Eclipse and all dependencies in a single installation. "We regard oAW as the best-of-kind tool to build generators and MDSD tools, and we are proud to contribute the oAW distro to the community," says Marko Boger, CEO of Gentleware. "It provides an excellent point to start from. You can think of Apollo as a sample for the cool things you can do with it. It is like a domain-independent DSL for code analysis. But tooling for domain-specific languages has to be custom-built, which Gentleware provides as service offering." Apollo for Eclipse is offered under either a rental or a subscription license. Base functionality is immediately available free of charge, extended functionality for export can be activated at the Gentleware website (www.gentleware.com) for as little as 5 EUR (6 USD) per month or 48 EUR (56 USD) per year. The openArchitectureWare Eclipse distribution is available free of charge from the Gentleware oAW website (http://www.gentleware.com/oaw.html). ### About Gentleware About Apollo for Eclipse[TM] About openArchitectureWare (oAW) Contact |
