In the next couple of weeks VMware and Google, who's now being sued by Oracle over Java and so really likes VMware's Spring widgetry as an alternative to Enterprise JavaBeans for enterprise Java application development, will put out "the first in a series of technology collaborations" starting with a set of universally usable tools for building, deploying and managing cloud-based applications such as:
- Spring Roo (a rapid application development engine) integrated with Google Web Toolkit for building browser-based RIA apps with AJAX and HTML5";
- Spring Insight, Spring's performance analyzer, integrated with Google Speed Tracer, the performance analyzer in the Chrome browser, for end-to-end performance visibility into cloud applications optimizing both the client and server side;
- and SpringSource Tool Suite integrated with the Google Plugin for Eclipse "to make it easier for developers to build and maintain large-scale web-based enterprise applications with tools that used to be used for building desktop and server solutions" as in put that on Google App Engine with its limited APIs.
The widgetry is supposed to "enable enterprises to develop and deploy rich Spring Java applications across multiple clouds and devices." The effort is supposed to be about cloud portability but Spring integration has already strengthened Google App Engine as a platform to launch Java apps.
The next collaboration projects will focus on broader mobile application support and accessing data in the cloud, like the ability to deploy a SQL-based Spring application on Google App Engine for Business.
Google says, "By making deployments of Spring Java applications on Google App Engine using Google Web Toolkit generally available, developers can deploy Java applications in production environments of their choice while leveraging rich web front-end across multiple devices."
