This release of BEA Workshop provides numerous issues fixes and improved performance to enhance the development experience.
Workshop now supports the Tuxedo control, which allows your applications to connect to Tuxedo services.
Workshop is now integrated with the WorkSpace Studio launcher at BEA_HOME/workSpaceStudio_1.1/workSpaceStudio/workSpaceStudio.exe.
Workshop Studio bundles Adobe Flex Builder 2 and Flex Charting as a third party add-on (for Windows only).
Features of Adobe Flex Builder 2 include:
To install Adobe Flex Builder 2 into Workshop Studio see Installing Adobe Flex 2.
Note that Adobe Flex Builder 2 and Flex Charting are only supported on Windows.
As of version 10.1, all of the functionality of WebLogic for Workshop and Workshop Studio have merged into one IDE.
To migrate your applications to the new IDE, see Upgrading to Workshop 10.x.
New features include:
Workshop 10.x now supports deployment to these versions of WebLogic Server:
Instead of creating one project at a time to build up an application structure, Workshop Quick Start Applications let you create multiple projects simulataneously. Project dependencies are created already in place, as is a WebLogic server configuration. For details see Workshop Quick Start Applications.
Workshop's Ant-based build supports integration with Maven-based build infrastructures.
Workshop version 10.x is built on the Eclipse Platform, an open source framework that is now widely used for Java development. Workshop extends Eclipse 3.2.2 and the Web Tools Platform 1.5.4.
