"An
Eclipse Toolchain for Rapid Java Development Using Transparent
Persistence"
Throughout
the last decade Java has grown to
become one of the most important programming
languages for enterprise
application development.
With
Versant's
enterprise OODBMS it has been possible to use
different transparent
persistence technologies like JPA, JVI or JDO for many years.
The
Eclipse platform and the associated project portfolio has emerged
as the de-facto standard for enterprise Java development. In
this talk
we will show how this toolchain can be supplemented to form a
consistent and integrated development environment for building
OODBMS
powered enterprise applications.
This
talk will conclude in a QA session that also serves as a way
to solicit
feedback from community members as the kinds of tools they
would like to see or need for their day-to-day OODBMS
development.
