"We are particularly honored to receive this award because it comes from
Java users who recognize Rational Rose as a leader," said Eric Schurr, senior
vice president of Marketing for Rational Software. "The award reflects the
industry-wide support we have garnered through responding to customer needs
and providing a complete lifecycle solution for automating and simplifying
Java development."
By combining the modeling environment with the development environment
using the Unified Modeling Language(UML), Rational Rose and a configuration
control solution enable all team members to use one tool and one language to
communicate effectively. Rose is the only object-oriented product on the
market to provide support and round-trip (reverse/forward) engineering for
JavaServer Pages (JSP) modeling, as well as flexible, controllable
synchronization and integration with the most popular Java IDEs (Borland
JBuilder, IBM VisualAge for Java, Sun Forte for Java, Webgain VisualCafe(TM)).
Support for industry-proven patterns allows users to reuse components and
create simpler, more resilient architectures.
Java Pro Reader's Choice Awards celebrate the best Java development tools
and products of the past year, based on independent online and phone surveys
of Java Pro readers. Java Pro, http://www.javapro.com/, the only Java
developer magazine focused exclusively on Java in the enterprise, acknowledged

Conference in San Francisco.
