BEA makes Beehive IDE and Framework "open source"

BEA has relased a set of tools to help Java developers with development. The new suite is based on the current BEA Workshop IDE. The articles about it (I have not used Workshop) indicate that its used for Web Application framework and specifically Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs). "Beehive" is supposed to be available this summer.

For more see the linked InternetNews article. (And note that in the article the normally, lets say, "candid" Marc Fleury of JBoss disparaged and criticized the move, basically stating that BEA doesnt understand open source and cant make this work.)   BEA Abuzz About Project Beehive
