MyEclipse 5.5 GA - Simplified enterprise, AJAX and Java EE 5 Articles / Press Room Posted by myeclipse on May 17, 2007 - 09:55 AM Genuitec, LLC [1], today announced the immediate availability of MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench [2] 5.5. This feature-packed release showcases simplified enterprise and Ajax development in addition to providing support for many of the enhancements of Java EE 5. Please be sure to review the New & Noteworthy [3] and release notes [4] documentation prior to installing. In addition, the 5.5 release will include continued support for the popular MyEclipse SNAPs (Simple Non-integrated APplications), which allow for workspace-free file manipulation. Continuing to bridge gaps between disparate IDEs, "Use-Anywhere" connectors are provided so users of NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA and Visual Studio platforms can utilize MyEclipse SNAPs (including a Visual Web Designer/HTML Editor [now supporting .php and .asp files], XML Editor, Database tools, smart Text Editing tools and Java Image Editor [with screen capture ability]) directly within their own environments. The SNAPs are free as part of the MyEclipse distribution, but are currently only available for the Windows platform.
