SpringSource hinted at what may be the precursor to a full-fledged cloud computing strategy by announcing a partnership with VMware to help virtualize its Eclipse-powered SpringSource development environment. The integration will allow, among other things, dynamic virtualization of servers on a developer's desktop.HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- SpringSource has announced a strategic
partnership with VMware aimed at helping enterprises to develop and
deploy Spring applications to virtualized environments.
SpringSource announced the news of the partnership at its annual developer conference, SpringOne Americas 2008, here.
The collaboration with VMware, a SpringSource Certified Solutions
Partner, includes integration between SpringSource Tool Suite, an
Eclipse-powered development environment for building enterprise
applications using the Spring Portfolio, and VMware Workstation to
enable the dynamic creation of virtual machines on the developer’s
desktop, said Rod Johnson, CEO of SpringSource.
“VMware and SpringSource are the global leaders in their respective
and complementary technology categories,” said Johnson. “The
partnership between SpringSource and VMware brings two of the largest
enterprise Java solutions, Spring and Apache Tomcat, together with the
value that virtualization enables when developing, testing, staging or
running Java applications, whether on the desktop or in the data
center.”
