FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


MyEclipse 4.0 Delivers Affordable, World-Class Enterprise Development Tools

* 24 New Features for Enterprise Development
* Widely Adopted Commercial IDE Extending Eclipse 3.1 Platform
* Industry’s Most Cost-Effective Full-Production Development Suite

PLANO, TX-August 8, 2005-Genuitec LLC, a founding member of the Eclipse
Foundation, today announced worldwide availability of release 4.0 of the
MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench, a full-feature, Enterprise-class platform
and tool suite for developing software applications and systems
for J2EE® and other environments. Facilities and features usually found only
in high-priced, Enterprise-class products are included in MyEclipse
4.0, which extends the best practices and technology available from the
latest Eclipse 3.1 SDK. Building on top of an already robust development
environment, MyEclipse 4.0 delivers new features that include the MyUML
modeling suite, MyJSF (Java Server Faces) Developer for Java®,
Specialized Oracle Database Connector Hibernate 3.0, Jakarta Tapestry and
Spring IDE support.

"Eclipse has come a long way in its short history. It has done well to
attract a steady but rapidly growing following from many organizations
that want a quality-backed development platform that has broad and unifying
support within the software industry," said Bola Rotibi, senior
analyst of Software Development at Ovum. "Eclipse's application framework
and pluggable architecture offers companies an excellent
opportunity to capitalize on the benefits of a development platform so
widely supported by the software industry."

MyEclipse is an innovative approach to offering affordable tools for Java
and J2EE developers. MyEclipse subscribers have access to the
Enterprise Workbench, monthly feature releases, online support and
tutorials. Genuitec’s mission is to deliver business value and to
maximize developers' productivity by consistently delivering reliable
products and a true end-to-end, seamless development environment for
Web, J2EE®, JSP, XML, Struts, JSF, Hibernate, UML Modeling and application
server integration needs.

“Genuitec was a founding member of the Eclipse Foundation and a leading
contributor to the Eclipse community,” said Mike Milinkovich, executive
director of the Eclipse Foundation. “Genuitec continues to provide a great
example of the type of commercial-quality development tools that can be
built when using Eclipse as a development platform.”

Priced at only $29.95, the Standard Edition of MyEclipse adds several new
tools and extended features, including:

*MyJSF Developer with included support for Sun JSF RI 1.1 and MyFaces 1.0.9
JSF implementations, Faces Configuration Designer with 10+
configuration wizards, integration with MyEclipse Hot-Sync Deployment and
WAR Export Tools

* Hibernate 3.0 support, incorporating relational persistence for Java®

* Jakarta Tapestry, which includes a specification editor that offers
completion suggestions, a Tapestry-aware template editor and Tapestry
Project Validations

* Spring IDE Integration Enhanced Oracle Connector, which enables view and
editing of functions, triggers and stored procedures and includes a
Procedure Runner tool for executing stored procedures

* Additional connectors for WebLogic 9.0 and WebSphere 6.0, rounding out a
total of 25 application server connectors.

In addition to the standard MyEclipse product, Genuitec now offers MyEclipse
Professional for Enterprise development specialists with the
introduction of MyUML, a complete round-trip modeling tool suite that
supports use-case, class, collaboration, state, activity and deployment
diagrams. Also included are an integrated diagram editor, outline and
properties viewers, free-form drawing tools, a Java code generator, and
model reverse engineering, as well as diagram and XMI export. Existing
MyEclipse subscribers receive a free upgrade to the Professional Edition
with their subscription renewal.

"I have been a user for two years now and I never cease to be amazed at
MyEclipse! I really don't know what I'd do without it. Spectacular job
and support,” commented Brad Maiani, faculty member at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Now including 25 target environments, MyEclipse provides the industry’s most
comprehensive application server connectors. The high cost of
comprehensive tools has often been a burden to project managers and
individual developers.

Despite the significant financial investment in tools and deployment, many
have been surprised and even disappointed by the poor reliability,
inflexibility, lack of extensibility and expensive support and upgrades.
MyEclipse responded by delivering superior features through an annual
license subscription that is priced at a fraction of competitive offerings.
Based on open-industry standards and the Eclipse platform,
MyEclipse redefines software pricing, support and delivery release cycles by
providing a complete application development environment for
J2EE® WEB, XML, UML and databases and the most comprehensive array of
application server connectors (25 target environments) to optimize
development, deployment, testing and portability.

More than 150,000 registered users in 133 countries use MyEclipse, including
6,000 Enterprise companies since being introduced as the first
commercial IDE for J2EE® in 2003. ”The team at Genuitec intimately
understands the power of Eclipse and the infinite possibilities of this
extraordinary platform,” said Todd Williams, Genuitec vice president of
Technology and Eclipse board member. “Eclipse provided the foundation to be
able to offer our product. It lowered many of the barriers traditionally
found when building a world-class IDE. We will continue to
extend MyEclipse to address the entire development lifecycle.”

Twice elected to the Eclipse board of directors, and a participant and
contributor for more than three years, Genuitec is a founding member of
the Eclipse Foundation.

MyEclipse 4.0 will be available August 29, with the Standard Edition annual
subscription priced at $29.95 USD and the Professional Edition
annual subscription priced at $49.95 USD. Existing subscribers receive a
free upgrade to Professional Edition with subscription renewal.

support.
