BEA Workshop 3.2 is now available *Now With Eclipse 3.2 and WTP 1.5*

BEA is the first enterprise vendor to deliver a commercial product on the Callisto release, which includes the Core Eclipse platform, version 3.2 and the Web Tools Project(WTP) version 1.5.

But that is not all. New changes include:

• Upgraded to Eclipse 3.2 and WTP 1.5 (the Callisto release of June 30/2006)
• Updated Spring support -- automatic generation of Spring artifacts from O/R mappings
• Improved Kodo support: a Kodo facet, integrated Kodo development license, Kodo tutorial
• Support the final EJB 3.0 spec for persistence and in conformance with industry usage, our documentation is upgraded to refer to EJB3 persistence as the Java Persistence API (JPA).
• Upgraded documentation, including expanded documentation of supported servers
• New JSP tutorial for new users or Workshop for JSP downloaders

Improved Debug/test features include:

• Hot deployment
• Manual deployment
• Remote debugging

If you want to try the new features, download the new version from the BEA Download Center.

There are some important improvements to infrastructure. Libraries for Hibernate, Kodo, Spring and Struts are downloaded on first use. This means that you do not have to agree to licenses for these features unless and until you choose to use them in a project. This allows you to make a conscious choice about which Blended frameworks to use, and also allows a smaller download. Also, we've make a number of bug fixes and improvements geared toward making the Studio platform more useful and robust. We have also improved the trial period extended to 30 days (from previous 15 days).

Crass commercialism Warning: As a feature for those you reading this blog, you can get $200 off buying BEA Workshop using the following discount code, BRblog07302006. (Note: this is available for online purchases only, and expires 7/30/2006) You can find BEA Workshop on the BEA Download site

BEA的Workshop Studio 开发者的最佳IDE利器

让我们先来看一段已经过时的消息：“EclipseCon 是全球瞩目的专注于 Eclipse的大会。2006年的EclipseCon 在加利福尼亚州的Santa Clara拉开了帷幕。BEA的Workshop Studio获得了基于Eclipse最佳商业开发工具的称号。"

在经历了更名及对M7的收购之后，Workshop Studio终于显出其王者之气，也终于赢得开发工具社区的肯定。但与Eclipse相比，这款已获殊荣的开发工具使用人数却并不是特别多，一个当然和它的大器晚成有关系，但另一方面也和开发人员对它的不甚了解有关系。下面让我们花几分钟的时间对它简单了解一下：
BEA Workshop Studio为eclipse环境提供专业化的工具。BEA Workshop Studio包括：
BEA Workshop JSP Editor
BEA Workshop for Struts
BEA Workshop for JSF
Hibernate ORM 和全面支持AppXRay
Studio为开发复杂的、基于行业标准框架的Web应用提供无与伦比的强大支持。BEA Workshop Studio包括成熟的WYSIWYG编辑器和BEA的AppXRay技术，允许深层次分析整个Web应用，在代码完成、错误检查和验证等方面提供前所未有的深层次支持和功能，范围覆盖应用的各层（MVC）。
Hibernate
BEA Workshop Studio为BEA Workshop ORM Workbench引入了对Hibernate和数据库工具的新增支持。
DbXplore 数据库浏览器适用于所有的主流数据库，包括Oracle、DB2、Sybase、SQL Server和MySQL
DbXaminer Database Diagrams和SQL Editor
Hibernate Mapping Editor
Hibernate Entities Editor
AppXRay支持以上数据库，提供代码完成、错误检查和验证，范围涵盖与Hibernate相关的文件和类
JSP IDE
BEA Workshop Studio提供目前市场中最先进的Java Server Page (JSP) 编辑器。它提供专业的JSP源代码编辑器，以及WYSIWYG 可视化JSP编辑器。不管是以前已有的，还是新出现的，该编辑器都有助于有力支持开发JSP、JSF及Struts页。BEA Workshop Studio还全面支持AppXRay和完全JSP调试、JSP 2.0 标记文件和 JSP 2.0 Expression Language (EL)。
AppXRay
BEA Workshop Studio还引入了一种名为AppXRay 的创新（专利申请中）技术。AppXRay技术构建应用中所有工件(artifact)的完整数据库，并跟踪它们之间的关系。该数据库使您能够充分了解整个应用的情况： 
当应用处于不一致状态时进行追踪
在执行之前警告应用中存在错误 
依赖性感知代码完成 
动态验证、一致性和错误检查
最重要的是，该数据库了解从代码到部署描述文件，从JSF到Java的所有工件。
AppXaminer
BEA Workshop Studio引入了AppXaminer，这是一种深入彻底察看Web应用依赖性的视图，从而提供自动问题检测和在整个环境内的轻松导航。马上导入您的应用，全面改善质量！
AppXNavigator
AppXNavigator提供对其他工件的源代码级、超链接形式的导航，这些工件包括Struts、JSP、图像、Java或为AppXRay所知的其它Web应用工件，使您能够直接达到源代码实现，从而可快速编辑。
AppXplorer
AppXplorer 提供一种强大且便捷的视图，可以识别出Web应用工件，例如与Struts 框架相关的工件。用户可从该视图找到所有依赖性和参考，或创建新元素。
Eclipse更新支持
对Eclipse Update Manager的支持功能允许从Eclipse中对目前安装的BEA Workshop插件进行自动更新，具体作法为选择“帮助> 软件更新> 查找并安装... (Help > Software Updates > Find and Install...) ”菜单项。
