By Allowing Developers to Work in Environment of Their Choice,

LogicLibrary Dramatically Improves Development

and Integration Projects

LogicLibrary(TM), the leading provider of software asset management tools, today announced the release of Logidex 3.0 for J2EE featuring seamless integration with Eclipse, WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD) and IBM Rational XDE, Logidex 3.0 for J2EE enables rapid collaboration among key developer tools and, in turn, delivers a measurable productivity boost to teams working on development and integration projects.

Logidex is the industry's premier collaborative software development asset (SDA) management solution for development, integration and service-oriented architecture projects. The Logidex RAS Plug-in for IBM Rational XDE makes it easy for developers to quickly find, access and use the most appropriate Reuseable Asset Specification (RAS) assets available and to import them into IBM Rational XDE for their UML-based development activities. By offering plug-ins for leading environments such as WSAD, XDE, Eclipse and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, Logidex users can exploit the power of their preferred development environment to locate and use the right assets to meet their application development and integration requirements.

"Most businesses today have mixed environments, and Logidex 3.0 for J2EE is the latest demonstration of our commitment to enable programmers to work within the development environment of their choice," said Greg Coticchia, CEO, LogicLibrary. "As an active member of the Eclipse open source movement, we share the vision that developers and architects are significantly more productive and efficient when they have access to the best tools in a single interface. No other software asset management solution can match LogicLibrary's tight integration with Eclipse, IBM WebSphere Studio, IBM Rational XDE and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET."

Logidex 3.0 for J2EE also includes:

-- Expanded security--Logidex's LDAP (Lightweight Directory

Access Protocol) interface provides a central place to

retrieve authentication information for system and application

use. Logidex users can authenticate via native LDAP or by

using industry-leading single-sign-on products.

-- Workflow enhancements--New asset acquisition features give

Logidex users unprecedented flexibility in managing the rules

associated with SDA selection and acquisition. IT

organizations can establish review checklists for prospective

SDA users as part of the acquisition process. These documents

-- designed for purposes as widely varied as open source

component license conformance, functional usage reviews and

purchase justifications for third-party components -- help

organizations ensure compliance with their SDA acquisition and

use processes.

-- Federated library support--Logidex enables enterprises to

better manage their physically distributed SDAs by supporting

remote library-to-library interconnections. These connections

can be configured to share any or all of the SDAs residing in

remote libraries with a local library, bringing the full power

of Logidex's advanced SDA search capabilities to assets

residing down the street or halfway around the world.
