Canoo Engineering AG (www.canoo.com)  has announced that it is porting
ULC Visual Editor to the new Eclipse visual GUI construction and
editor platform. The company has been invited to participate in the
Eclipse Visual Editor project. Following its decision to contribute to
the open development tools and API, Canoo has decided to port ULC
Visual Editor for WebSphere Studio to the Eclipse Visual Editor
framework.

ULC Visual Editor is a "drag-and-drop" GUI designer plug-in, providing
developers with real-time feedback during interface development. By
porting
ULC Visual Editor to the Eclipse framework, more developers can
benefit from
this new ULC tool.

The release of the Eclipse version of ULC Visual Editor is planned for
Q2/2004.

About ULC
ULC is a GUI component library to develop rich thin clients for
browser and
desktop applications. ULC's server-side programming model allows
developers
to design GUIs as if they were running on the server. The GUI library
takes
care of the client/server code split and optimizes network traffic.
The
application is deployed on the server, while an
application-independent
presentation engine handles the user interface on the client.

ULC is based on standards and integrates with any J2EE software. It
provides
developers with a homogeneous environment and speeds up the
development and
deployment of client/server applications.
