Sun Microsystems has released version 3.0 of the Forte for Java integrated development environment (IDE), which simplifies application development that uses the Java 2 Platform.Forte 3.0 supports both the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME), and the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. It allows developers to build applications and services that can be accessed via the Web, enterprise servers, mobile devices, or personal digital assistants.

Through the Forte for Java Extension Partner Program, companies are developing innovative modules that extend the Forte for Java environment to provide support for SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, and UML modeling. The IDE has been optimized for the iPlanet Application Server 6.0, and is a core component of the Sun Open Net Environment (Sun ONE), an open architecture and integratable product portfolio, to create, assemble, and deploy Web services.

With this, developers can target the iPlanet Application Server and optimize their applications for performance, scalability, and availability. The Web services module provides automatic binding of Java technology and XML through intuitive wizards that generate Java code. This code supports run-time access and execution of Web services, including publication to a services registry.

Sun also contributed seven modules to netbeans.org, further enhancing the position of NetBeans as the leading open source tools platform. The Forte for Java IDE is built on the NetBeans platform.

Components of the new development platform include:

External Editor -- Integrated XEmacs and vi editors into the NetBeans IDE.
C++ and Fortran support -- Allows developers to compile and execute Fortran, C, and C++ code, including syntax highlighting and makefile support.
XML Support -- Provides support for XML, including syntax highlighting, code completion, validation, DTD generation, and logical editing of XML documents.
Database Explorer -- Allows developers to browse and manipulate live databases and generate JDBC code to rapidly write database-aware client and server-side code.
CORBA Support -- Enables testing of applications that use the Common Object Request Broker (CORBA) architecture, including editing and syntax highlighting of IDL files.
File Copy -- Deployment via Internet File Transfer Protocol
Terminal Emulation -- Terminal support
