BEA Ignites Tool Suite With NitroX

By Alex Handy

October 15, 2005 — BEA Systems is moving forward on the expansion of its developer tools with the announcement last month that the company had acquired IDE maker M7, and with it, the rights to NitroX, its Eclipse-based development environment. Terms of the purchase were not disclosed.

The announcement came at BEA World, its annual user conference that took place the last week in September.

The purchase brings with it added frameworks for Struts, Hibernate, JSF and JSP, said BEA vice president of product marketing Bill Roth. This functionality will be integrated with the company’s WebLogic Workshop development suite, though no time frame has yet been laid out for the completion of this merger.

Laura Didio, research fellow at Yankee Group, said that the move is indicative of BEA’s strategy to take on the big players in its market space.

“It certainly fills in a gap for BEA. They’ve been in a very strong position. BEA reminds me in a lot of ways of the little engine that could. The markets that they play in are populated by some of the biggest industry giants.”

Didio said that the decision to purchase M7 was also a direct swipe at IBM. She said that in the SOA market, BEA was “really keeping pace with all the big boys, and this is another move to do that. M7 has always supported the WebSphere environment from IBM, and BEA is going to compete with them.”

Also at BEA World, the company announced WebLogic Real Time Edition. This new version offers predictable cleaning schedules for application memory, and is targeted at users in environments where occasional multisecond server pauses during memory cleaning cycles are a problem.

The new real-time software will be available from BEA in the fourth quarter of 2005.The company also announced a new certified Java Spring package and Spring support across its product line.
