Bluestone Software Selects AverStar's JWatch to Provide Enhanced Debugging Solution for Sapphire/Web Java Application Server Framework.BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 1999-- Sapphire/Web Users Gain Ability to Concurrently Debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. Multiple Applications Running on Different JVMs AverStar, Inc., a trusted leader in developing software solutions and diagnostic tools for commercial and government customers, today announced that Bluestone bluestone, common name for the blue, crystalline heptahydrate of cupric sulfate called chalcanthite, a minor ore of copper. It also refers to a fine-grained, light to dark colored blue-gray sandstone. (R) Software, the independent leader in Enterprise Interaction Management, has selected AverStar's JWatch(R) as the debugging solution for its Sapphire/Developer, a component of the Sapphire/Web(R) Application Server Framework. JWatch will give Sapphire/Web customers the debugging capability needed for enterprise-class Web applications. Customers will be able to concurrently debug multiple, different Java programs running on multiple Java Virtual Machines This article provides non-exhaustive lists of J2SE Java virtual machines (JVMs). It does not include a large number of Java Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) vendors. Note that J2EE runs on the standard J2SE JVM but that some vendors specialize in providing a modified JVM optimized across an enterprise-level application. "This integration strengthens our commitment to enterprise-level solutions by providing Sapphire/Web users with the powerful and unique debugging capabilities of JWatch," John Capobianco John Capobianco (born 1965) is a Canadian corporate executive and activist.

"We are pleased to be fulfilling a need within the Sapphire/Web product," said Ron Kole, vice president of Distributed IT Solutions at AverStar. "We designed JWatch with both the developer and the corporate enterprise in mind. We realize the developer's need for precise, source-level debugging that speeds the development cycle, which ultimately helps the enterprise because applications are deployed more quickly." About JWatch Only JWatch offers concurrent, multi-process debugging in multiple, different vendor virtual machines. With local and remote debugging Remote debugging is the process of debugging a program running on a system different than the debugger. To start remote debugging, debugger connects to a remote system over a network. and the ability to debug with and without source code, JWatch helps developers build and integrate true enterprise applications. Users can even control and debug applets in the Internet Explorer browser. With its remote, multi-process abilities, JWatch allows users to debug RMI (Remote Method Invocation) A standard from Sun for distributed objects written in Java. RMI is a remote procedure call (RPC), which allows Java objects (software components) stored in the network to be run remotely. processes and Java servlets. Because JWatch is highly retargetable it is also used for debugging embedded system Java technology-enabled virtual machines. JWatch supports Java 2, Sun's latest release of the Java platform.
