ATLANTA & LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 2, 2003

JBoss(R) Group LLC, provider of the most popular Java-based application server, today announced that JBoss customers can now take advantage of Infotectonica's powerful Juliet(R) code comprehension tool, which effortlessly navigates and analyzes even the largest and most unwieldy code bases.

The open source JBoss application server allows Java developers to rapidly develop, integrate and deploy enterprise applications. JBoss provides the most stable, scalable and flexible application server with support for J2EE in the market today. It is freely available for download at the JBoss website online store. JBoss Group is comprised of JBoss developers who provide training, support, consulting and documentation for the server. JBoss is in broad use in development and production environments and was downloaded more than two million times in 2002.

Juliet is a Java tool for reading, browsing, searching and analyzing source code. Featuring an easy-to-understand graphical interface, Juliet delivers rich information about the code, including where and how types, methods and fields are used (instantiated, called, overridden, written, read, etc.) -- without having to load an IDE. Java developers can also easily ask complex questions about their code, such as "Where are subclasses of this abstract type instantiated? Where are the methods in this package's classes used? Who writes to the fields in this type?" Juliet makes it easier than ever for developers to review or re-use code or simply get up to speed on large code bases.

Services and support for Juliet and JBoss are available from both companies.

"Like JBoss, Infotectonica is committed to improving the developer experience and increasing productivity," said Marc Fleury, founder of JBoss.org and president of JBoss Group. "Juliet offers many unique features that will change the way developers see their code, simplifying the time-consuming task of reading and understanding source code."

"With Juliet, it all boils down to not wasting time," said Carlo Walentiny, chief executive officer of Infotectonica. "Developers rely on Juliet for just-in-time code comprehension, so they can use their time to build reliable applications on top of JBoss."

A free trial download of the product bundle is available at http://infotectonica.com/juliet/download. More information on the bundled offering is available at http://www.jboss.org.
