The goal of the Pollinate project is to build an Eclipse 3.1 based IDE and tool set that leverages the open source Apache Beehive application framework. WebLogic Workshop 8.1 serves as a rough guide as to what Pollinate hopes to achieve.
Pollinate [1] will provide a full-featured Java development environment that enables developers to visually build and assemble enterprise-scale web applications, JSPs, web services, and leverage the Java controls framework for creating and consuming J2EE components; optimized for a service-oriented architecture. This will be accomplished by creating a broad set of Eclipse plug-ins and user interface components for building projects on top of the Apache Beehive framework. Beehive is an Apache open-source project that uses the innovations in JDK 1.5 to help simplify programming on J2EE and other Web Application containers. Eclipse member company Instantiations [2] leads the Pollinate project. Click here to download Milestone 2. [3]
