The free "Development Acceleration Pack" instructs developers as to how Eclipse-based JBuilder 2007 "lets you develop your software, your way—a lot more quickly and easily. All while preserving your access to the latest and best open source tools and plug-ins," according to a letter from Intersimone to developers. Advantages outlined by Intersimone include:

* Graphical EJB Workbench, which "provides a simplified RAD development experience for both novice and experienced JEE developers alike."

* Complete performance tuning with Optimizeit 2007 for Eclipse—delivering memory and CPU profiling, advanced debugging, and high-level, real-time data that traces performance issues to CPU, memory, or both.

Developers can "target and re-target app servers from all of the major commercial OSS vendors including IBM, BEA, Sun, JBoss, and Apache," according to Intersimone, and also learn about "additional pace-quickening tools too numerous to mention here.

The download is available now.
