Overview
IBM WebSphere® Developer for zSeries® V6.0 includes capabilities that make traditional mainframe development, Web development, and integrated mixed workload or composite development faster and more efficient. COBOL and PL/I, Java(TM), and EGL developer communities are also more productive when they take advantage of these functions.
WebSphere Developer for zSeries V6.0 supports new industry standards that can simplify the development of rich Web user interfaces, traditional terminal interfaces, and back-end business logic deployable to CICS®, IMS(TM), Batch, and WebSphere transactional environments. It also includes high-productivity tools for business-oriented developers, new to J2EE and Java, that integrate IBM zSeries processing via Web services with powerful Web User and Session management.
IBM WebSphere Developer for zSeries is optimized for IBM WebSphere software and zSeries deployment environments, and supports multivendor runtime environments. It is powered by the Eclipse open source platform so developers can adapt and extend their development environment to match their needs and increase their productivity.
When WebSphere Developer for zSeries is used with the IBM Software Development Platform, developers can extend its processing to meet a broad range of requirements, including change management and test functions, usable directly from the WebSphere Developer for zSeries desktop.
WebSphere Developer for zSeries V6.0 is the follow-on replacement for WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer V5.
