SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2002

New Release of Leading Cross-Platform Java(TM) Development Solution

Seamlessly Integrates Products Across the Application Development

Lifecycle

Borland Software Corporation (Nasdaq NM: BORL) today announced the immediate availability of Borland(R) JBuilder(TM) 7, the latest version of the award-winning, market leading Java(TM) development environment. JBuilder 7 is the foundation of the new Borland(R) Enterprise Studio 4 for Java(TM), a complete Java development solution that provides integration of application development lifecycle elements, from design through deployment. JBuilder 7 adheres to the latest Java standards and dramatically increases developer productivity, allowing customers to bring their applications to market faster.

Key Features and Benefits of JBuilder(TM) 7:

-- Integration of Complete Application Lifecycle - In addition to tight
integration with Borland(R) Enterprise Server, JBuilder 7 provides access to
Borland(R) TeamSource(TM) DSP (Development Services Platform), a collaborative
product-development platform for distributed teams, and the new Borland
Optimizeit(TM) Suite, a pioneer in Java performance tuning.

-- Configuration Management - JBuilder 7 Enterprise provides an infrastructure
to customize the build process for large enterprise Java projects. Customized
tasks and build processes can now be added to JBuilder projects, enabling Java
developers to standardize their projects to easily integrate with centralized
Apache(TM) Ant-based build processes.

-- New Refactorings - JBuilder 7 supports refactorings, including the ability
to change method parameters, extract methods, introduce variables, and surround
with try/catch. These refactorings complement the existing refactoring
patterns, which include rename packages, classes and methods, and move classes
from one package to another, rename fields, method arguments, and local
variables.

-- Enhanced EJB(TM) 2.0 Designer - JBuilder 7 makes significant EJB designer
performance enhancements, including the ability to sketch entity beans without
first creating a database schema. In addition, the EJB designer has been
enhanced to support large-scale enterprise projects via multiple EJB views so
that large number of beans can be logically grouped in a more manageable
fashion. New BMP support, bean-to-schema export, support for bean inheritance,
coding style flexibility, and significant usability enhancements make coding
EJB applications even easier than before.

-- New Application Server Support - JBuilder 7 includes an improved,
streamlined application server integration framework based on services. With
new support for BEA(R) WebLogic(R) 7.0, iPlanet(TM) 6.5, and Oracle9i(TM)
Application Server, JBuilder 7 now provides support for more J2EE(TM) platform
application servers than any other Java development environment.

"JBuilder 7 builds on Borland's strategy of providing developers freedom of choice and companies the ability to move forward without abandoning their past investments," said Tony de la Lama, vice president and general manager of Java solutions for Borland. "By incorporating the various elements of the application development lifecycle, including design, construction, performance analysis and testing, and deployment and enhancing the experience through collaborative team development through TeamSource DSP into one solution, Borland is positioned to maintain and extend its leadership in the Java/J2EE development arena."
