Broadcom Introduces Industry’s First Enterprise-Grade Support for Eclipse Che4z and VS Code4z
November 12 2019 - 11:00AM
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced the introduction of
the industry’s first enterprise-grade support for new extensions of
Eclipse Che 7— the first Kubernetes-native, integrated development
environment (IDE) for developer teams leveraging the mainframe
platform. As the first-ever open-source based set of IDE extensions
for mainframe application development, developers can now use their
existing tools to easily build innovative apps leveraging the data
and processes residing on the mainframe.
This innovative new offering, combined with Broadcom’s CA
Brightside support of the Open Mainframe Project Zowe framework,
provides enterprises with the confidence they need to introduce
true, modern DevOps tools within their mainframe environment.
With enterprise-grade support, IT organizations are now in a
position to accelerate their digital transformation
initiatives.
“One of the components of a successful digital transformation
initiative is its ability to facilitate the use of applications and
data across a multitude of platforms, inclusive of mainframes.
Developer tools that render mainframe-based development accessible
to modern developers by means of familiar tools and IDEs enhance
the developer experience for mainframe application development,”
said Arnal Dayaratna, research director, Software Development, IDC.
“Given Broadcom’s strategy of focusing on open tools and proven
enterprise support for Project Zowe, CA Endevor Enterprise Bridge
for Git to CA Endevor and Eclipse Che, Che4z lowers the barriers
for organizations to extend the value of their mainframe
investment, while providing a familiar build and test
environment.”
Today’s developers spend the bulk of their day immersed in IDE
and software configuration management (SCM). While career mainframe
programmers can continue to use existing tools, the real future of
mainframe DevOps focuses on millennial and off-platform developers
who prefer to use familiar tools.
“Eclipse Che simplifies collaboration and enables teams to
provision developer workspaces without getting bogged down with
configuration tasks— all while helping to protect source code.
These benefits are just a few of the reasons the project has grown,
as evidenced by the release of Che 7,” said Brad Micklea, vice
president of Developer Tools, Programs and Advocacy at Red Hat. “As
one of the early contributors to Eclipse Che, Red Hat is excited to
see it applied to cloud-native, database and IoT development
challenges. Now Broadcom has taken this even further to simplify
mainframe development. We’re looking forward to continuing our
support of this open source project and working with collaborators
to further expand Che's use cases.”
“Broadcom is continuously improving how mainframe technologies
can help clients move faster in their digital transformation
journey. Our strategy to embrace open technologies on the mainframe
is unique because we see the value of those technologies working
together with today’s existing tools.” said Greg Lotko, senior vice
president and general manager, Mainframe Division, Broadcom. “Our
announcement to provide enterprise support for Eclipse Che and VS
Code extensions is yet another step in providing the confidence our
clients need to adopt these open tools for the mainframe.”
“For many years, Broadcom has played an invaluable role in the
community-led innovation hosted by the Eclipse Foundation,” said
Mike Milinkovich, executive director at the Eclipse Foundation.
“Their participation in the release of Eclipse Che 7, the
industry's first Kubernetes-native IDE, is a perfect example. We
look forward to Broadcom’s contributions and leadership as the
Eclipse community collaborates on the next generation of cloud
development tools.”
The Eclipse Che4z and VS Code4z extensions, previously
contributed by Broadcom to the open-source community, will now be
fully-supported. Broadcom’s customers using CA Endevor as their
SCM, with the Git option, will benefit from these tools as
well.
The power of open source communities will be integral to future
innovations on the mainframe. Developers can now contribute to the
