A not-so-Anonymous Coward writes: "During a Sun developer 'chalk talk' Thursday, Joe Keller, Sun vice president of Java Web services, said the company will release a preview of the tool, known as Project Rave, that the Santa Clara, Calif., company introduced at its JavaOne conference in June. Sun has touted Project Rave as a rapid application development tool akin to Microsoft Corp.'s Visual Basic. In fact, Sun had its developers study Visual Basic to a great extent while building the tool, Sun sources said. Sounds like .NET is going to get a run for it's money."

Hmm.... isn't this J2EE with a new face? by Randolpho · 2003-11-07 10:52 · Score: 0, Redundant

See the subject. Seriously, what does Project Rave give me that standard J2EE technologies don't already?

Or are they talking a new IDE? Something to compete with Visual Studio .NET?

If so, I hope it's not based on NetBeans...

*shudder*
