VisualCafe Enterprise Suite Developers Will Have Integrated Visual UML
Modeling and Simultaneous Round-Trip Engineering

 San Francisco, Moscone Center, JavaOne Developer Conference  June 15, 1999 Symantec Corporation (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced that it plans to integrate VisualCafe Enterprise Suite with a comprehensive integrated modeling technology based on the industry leading modeling tool, Together/J. This integration will serve the needs of enterprise developers by providing a powerful UML tool for implementing simultaneous round-trip engineering, pattern modeling, and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) with their  Java applications.

"VisualCafe Enterprise Suite integrated with Together/J 3 Whiteboard Edition will provide a powerful solution for faster Java development by bringing modeling and programming together in one productive environment," said Mansour Safai, vice president of Symantec's Internet Tools Division. "With this integrated tool, VisualCafe developers will have a solution for simultaneous design-and-code editing, flexibly supporting the way they prefer to work, whether design first, code first, or do some of both at the same time."

According to Peter Coad, president of Object International, the combination of VisualCafe Enterprise Suite and TogetherJ provides developers simultaneous round-trip engineering, which allows models to automatically stay up-to-date throughout a project. "The combination of TogetherJ and the industry leading VisualCafe Enterprise Suite will provide developers with a premier development environment," Coad said. "Together/J is the first platform-independent UML modeler to deliver simultaneous round-trip engineering an advanced technology that significantly improves productivity and quality by automatically synchronizing diagrams and source
code."

VisualCafe(tm) Enterprise Suite allows developers to take Java(tm) development enterprise-wide, minimizing risk, reducing complexity and increasing their competitive edge in building business applications. Visual programming, support for CORBA, RMI, and the latest Java technologies, plus unique Single-View debugging across multiple heterogeneous platforms ease the transition to Java. VisualCafe Enterprise Suite is the only solution for all the needs of an enterprise developer.

One important feature of the VisualCafe Enterprise Suite and Together/J Whiteboard integration is that it will include the ability to generate EJBs and JavaBeans. JavaBean support includes: recognize beans, generate getters and setters, auto-update getters and setters, and view management of getters and setters. EJB support includes both creating and maintaining session beans and entity beans. JavaBean support includes: recognize beans, generate getters and setters, auto-update getters and setters, and view management of getters and setters.

TJ Whiteboard Edition (TJ-WE) features simultaneous design-and-code editing, supporting the way designers and programmers really work: design first, or code first, or do some of both at the same time. Developers use it on brand-new projects; developers use it on existing projects, too. This edition features UML class and pattern modeling. TJ-WE delivers simultaneous round-trip engineering for Java software development. TJ-WE is intended for solo programmers building Java applications. Another Object International product, called TJ Developer Edition (TJ-DE) adds features for analysts, designers, and programmers working in teams, developing enterprise-wide apps.
