While looking to DB2 v. 9 I stumbled upon DB2 Developer Workbench which is the follow-up to the old suite of Swing based Java DB2 development applications which I must say was due for an overhaul. If DB2 Developer Workbench is the yardstick for future IBM development products based on the IBM Eclipse/Expeditor platform all I can say is wow!!
I already picture an integrated development platform for Lotus, DB2 and Java products (can’t make myself write Websp…). It’s gonna be a BIG install but imagine the applications you can build that leverage Notes 8 as the client for applications what access Notes, DB2 and Java resources. How’s that for composite applications.
Seems everything is melting together nicely…
