Eclipse on OpenVMS

NXTware Eclipse is the industry’s first Eclipse implementation especially designed for OpenVMS running on HP Integrity servers. With NXTware Eclipse, users can leverage the standard Eclipse platform for contemporary development with wizards that simplify Web services development with AXIS2. The tool also includes tooling that enables OpenVMS developers to create Web 2.0 composite ("Mash-up") applications.

When used in conjunction with eCube's NXTware IME tooling, NXTware Eclipse simplifies the maintenance of applications based on legacy OpenVMS languages and middleware platforms. All of this is accomplished with wizards that automate time-consuming tasks and allow less-experienced maintenance engineers and OpenVMS novices to be more productive.

• Eclipse running on OpenVMS simplifies the maintenance and development of new and legacy business logic.
• Visual tools support multiple legacy and contemporary languages: C/C++, COBOL, Java
• Wizard-based extension of new and existing OpenVMS applications and business logic to Java and Web Services
• OpenVMS development of AJAX-based Web 2.0 composite ("Mash-up") applications that integrate legacy and contemporary data.
• Remote Access Plug-in: Makes OpenVMS engineering possible from Eclipse running on Windows and LINUX

MIddleware tooling for OpenVMS

The NXTware IME for RPC allows maintenance engineers with little or no experience with COBOL and C /C++ to be productive maintaining and integrating legacy applications.  The RPC NXTware stack combines 10 Wizards and 8 tools designed to make operating applications based on legacy platforms more affordable and efficient to run.

NXTware IME for RPC delivers:

• Simplified application configuration and partitioning
• Develop, maintain, configure, test and deploy services from the NXTware IME
• One button generation of legacy and contemporary providers and consumers
• Automated generation of data independent service with configurable data poolers
• Federated RPC services
• One button generation of SOA Interfaces and integration services
• Support for CORBA, Entera, DCE, TCP-IP, EZ-RPC,and ONC-RPC

Modernization process for OpenVMS

ARM modernization is a series of tool-enabled disciplines that facilitate the understanding, improvement, migration, reuse and/or transformation of existing software systems. eCube's ARM process is made up of three major phases: assessment, remediation and modernization. Because the ARM process breaks down into phases, organizations can readily apply selected ARM disciplines to a wide variety of projects.

Modernization includes moving and/or migrating applications based on heritage technologies into contemporary technologies, platforms and languages. In addition, Modernization includes the capture, reuse and redeployment of existing data and business rules in object based languages, such as Java or C#, new data models, services oriented architectures and model driven architectures.

eCube delivers the benefits of Modernization as well as related capabilities that organizations can employ to derive the most value from existing software assets over the long-term
