BEA is the first enterprise vendor to deliver a commercial product on the Callisto release, which includes the Core Eclipse platform, version 3.2 and the Web Tools Project(WTP) version 1.5.
But that is not all. New changes include:
- Upgraded to Eclipse 3.2 and WTP 1.5 (the Callisto release of June 30/2006)
- Updated Spring support -- automatic generation of Spring artifacts from O/R mappings
- Improved Kodo support: a Kodo facet, integrated Kodo development license, Kodo tutorial
- Support the final EJB 3.0 spec for persistence and in conformance with industry usage, our documentation is upgraded to refer to EJB3 persistence as the Java Persistence API (JPA).
- Upgraded documentation, including expanded documentation of supported servers
- New JSP tutorial for new users or Workshop for JSP downloaders
Improved Debug/test features include:
- Hot deployment
- Manual deployment
- Remote debugging
If you want to try the new features, download the new version from the BEA Download Center.
There are some important improvements to infrastructure. Libraries for Hibernate, Kodo, Spring and Struts are downloaded on first use. This means that you do not have to agree to licenses for these features unless and until you choose to use them in a project. This allows you to make a conscious choice about which Blended frameworks to use, and also allows a smaller download. Also, we've make a number of bug fixes and improvements geared toward making the Studio platform more useful and robust. We have also improved the trial period extended to 30 days (from previous 15 days).
Crass commercialism Warning: As a feature for those you reading this blog, you can get $200 off buying BEA Workshop using the following discount code, BRblog07302006. (Note: this is available for online purchases only, and expires 7/30/2006) You can find BEA Workshop on the BEA Download site
For more information about this release, see Pieter Humphrey's blog.

I'm currently looking at trial version and want to apply some updates and fixes, but unfortunately they require some special dev2dev user id as my normal one won't work.
Please help.
