Borland Software Corporation and Vignette Corp. jointly announced a relationship and combined solution designed to help organizations accelerate the creation of portlets with custom functionality, improve the design and quality of Web interfaces, and consolidate management of disparate portlet functionality across the enterprise. The solution will consist of a portlet creation plug-in for Borland(R) JBuilder(R) 2005 and the Vignette(R) Application Portal Borland Developer Edition. This wizard-based solution is designed to help developers create custom portlets based on the Java(R) standard (JSR 168) to deliver security features inherent in the J2EE(TM) environment, shorten development time, and enhance scalability and performance for enterprise applications.
Borland and Vignette also are working together on marketing programs and events promoting JBuilder 2005 and the Vignette Application Portal to new and existing customers. The companies intend to collaborate on software application bundles for enterprise customers that require the stability and scalability of the Java platform, and need to quickly and easily aggregate and publish extensive data sets and information.
"With JBuilder 2005 and Vignette Application Portal Borland Developer Edition, our customers should improve the speed with which they develop and deploy standards-based Java portlets. These portlets can easily take advantage of Web services integration, and can be rapidly deployed to leading J2EE application servers," said George Paolini, vice president and general manager of developer tools at Borland.
"The combination of Borland and Vignette's solutions can help reduce implementation costs and time to deployment. Together we can accelerate our customers' return on investment by providing superior out-of-the-box capabilities for the J2EE development environment," said David Shirk, senior vice president of products, strategy and worldwide marketing at Vignette. "Best of all, once developers create custom portlets with JBuilder, they can immediately deploy those portlets to Vignette Application Portal Borland Developer Edition for evaluation."
JBuilder 2005 continues to lead the charge on emerging Java standards and incorporates support for new standards such as JavaServer(TM) Faces (JSF) and J2EE 1.4, important foundations for developing and deploying Web services. JBuilder 2005 also includes advanced performance management capabilities, seamless integration with many of today's leading application servers, expanded integration with Borland(R) CaliberRM(TM) and Borland(R) StarTeam(R) and easy access to important third-party development tool providers.
Vignette's modular line of portal, content management, document and records management, integration, and collaboration technologies tightly integrate to streamline business processes and provide greater business efficiency. Built on industry standards, including J2EE, JSR 168 and WSRP, Vignette's technology seamlessly fits into virtually any computing environment and integrates with proprietary, repository-based applications such as those from Oracle, SAP AG, PeopleSoft Inc. and EMC Corp., in addition to the Borland platform.
