ARMONK, N.Y., Aug. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) is
announcing general availability and improvements to a set of
services for IBM's platform-as-a-service (PaaS), Bluemix, that
enable developers to more seamlessly integrate Java-based resources
into their cloud-based applications.
The new IBM Cloud tools are designed to help developers broaden
the capabilities of their applications to give users a more robust
cloud experience, by leveraging added security and flexibility to
use a vast array of resources for their development. They
include:
- Liberty Buildpack updated the Liberty runtime to make
available or preview the latest Java EE 7 Liberty features, and
while IBM JRE 7.1 remains the default it is now possible to test
and run applications in Bluemix with Java 8. Additionally, among
other improvements, the jsp-2.3, el-3.0, and jdbc-4.1 Liberty
features, previously in beta, are now available as
production-ready.
- IBM Eclipse Tools for Bluemix is launched with a new
version that now includes JavaScript Debug, support for Node.js
applications, Java 8 Liberty for Java integration, Eclipse Mars
support for the latest Eclipse Mars version as well as an improved
trust self-signed certificates capability. Additionally,
incremental publish support for JEE applications has been expanded
to support web fragment projects.
- XPages on IBM Bluemix brings the power of Domino XPages
to the cloud, allowing developers to create feature-rich,
responsive, and secure applications that can be quickly brought to
market on Bluemix.

The developer-friendly, open-standards-based Bluemix catalog
includes over 100 tools and services of the most prominent
open-source technologies combined with IBM and third-party services
that allow developers to build, run and manage cloud applications
with more flexibility. IBM launched Bluemix via a $1 billion investment in 2014, rapidly becoming
the largest Cloud Foundry deployment in the world, and was recently
shown to be growing 10-times faster than the overall PaaS market by
research firm ESG.
Combining Bluemix and IBM Design Thinking methodology, the
Bluemix Garage network creates a bridge between the scale of
enterprises and the culture of startups, by establishing physical
collaboration spaces housed in the heart of thriving
entrepreneurial communities around the world, including successful
implementations in San Francisco, London and Toronto.
