Java Envy

I meet with a lot of our users in my role at Rogue Wave, and one of the things that I’ve heard from a few people lately is the term “Java envy”.  When I ask what they mean by that, they’re not referring to the language itself.  C++ developers like the control they have over memory usage and predictable performance.  What they’re talking about are the multitude of developer tools that are available for Java development.

Rogue Wave has always strived to be the leader in providing C++ products and tools to make developers more productive.  One of our products, HydraEnterprise, continues that goal.  HydraEnterprise provides the ability to create, orchestrate and deploy services to a runtime.  It can create web services, as well as native C++ and Java services, BPEL, data access and others.  It also comes with some developer tools that make doing all those tasks much easier.  The tools are Eclipse plug-ins that allow you to create services within an easy to use GUI, taking advantage of the editors within Eclipse.  You can create WSDL files, generate service wrappers, orchestrate the workflow between services and deploy to the runtime very quickly.  If you would like to see this demonstrated, we have an online tutorial series where one of our sales engineers will create and deploy a C++ service in under 30 minutes.  Send an email to tutorial@roguewave.com indicating your desire and you will receive an email with the details for the next demonstration.

C++ developers rejoice, as Rogue Wave is still working to make your lives easier.

    Talk about Java, whatever happened to your jtools.jar? Thanks.

    Hi Gopi. Not too many people remember jtools. It was a great product, but when the JDK came out (and was free) it eliminated the need for jtools. We like to think that our SourcePro products (formerly .h++) are like a JDK for C++.

    Thanks for the comment!
