Progress Software shifts development to Fuse Forge



Email    print   
July 8, 2009 —  Progress Software has opened a collaborative open-source development community called Fuse Forge that developers can use to create projects related to Fuse and to the Apache projects that they leverage.

Fuse is a suite of open-source integration tools for enabling service-oriented architecture. It includes Fuse ESB, a commercial version of the Apache ServiceMix enterprise service bus; Fuse Message Broker, an open-source JMS message broker that is based on Apache ActiveMQ; and the Fuse Services Framework, a Web services platform based on Apache CXF.

Fuse Forge provides a Web-based project management environment with source code control with Git or Subversion, as well as Maven for managing builds. Issues are tracked using JIRA, wikis and mailing lists. It also supports the WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) specification for file sharing.

Professional services are available from Progress Software. The company says that development services are priced similar to commercial software.

According to Progress, Developers can create and manage their own projects, or participate in others, and they can also browse components. The Fuse engineering team at Progress has shifted its internal development to Fuse Forge.

“With the reduced barriers to entry that open source provides, we are seeing rapid growth in the number of applications using Fuse open-source products," said Ken Rugg, vice president and general manager of integration infrastructure products at Progress Software, in a written announcement about the platform. "Fuse Forge creates a development environment so users can focus on their applications, and not the development infrastructure.”

Seed projects have been added to Fuse Forge, including Actional Diagnostics, a QA tool for Web services that was previously closed source; Fuse Depot, a Web-based tool for provisioning distributed applications on Apache Tomcat and FUSE ESB; a messaging protocol called RestMQ; and management extensions for Fuse components.
