I am pleased to announce that the code lines BEA Workshop and Workshop Studio have been merged. The result is BEA Workshop 10.1, now available for download here. As I mentioned in my Blended blog, the blending of open source and commercial source is done by almost everyone. Now, we have blended our tools to provide the best blended development environment

What's New in Workshop 

As of version 10.1, all of the functionality of WebLogic for Workshop and Workshop Studio have merged into one IDE.

New features include:

• Support for multiple web application frameworks in one IDE: Struts, JSF and Beehive
• Flexible tools for creating and testing WebLogic Server 10 web services
• DbXplorer and DBXaminer for working with databases
• ORM mapping support via BEA Kodo and Hibernate
• Automatic generation of Spring configuration and DAO classes
• Deployment to versions 8.1, 9.x, and 10.0 of WebLogic Server.
• Workshop 10.1 now supports deployment to these versions of WebLogic Server: 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2,10.0 
• Improved Page Flow Support and AppXRay Integration
• JSP editor with WYSIWYG design view
• Code completion on NetUI tag attributes, both for static values and expressions
• Ctrl+click navigation on NetUI tag attribute values
• Page flow specific validation on NetUI tag attribute values
• Rich property sheet support via with lots of useful "value pickers"
• Integration with WTP JSP templates for very easy customization of initial JSP content
• Workshop's Ant-based build supports integration with Maven-based build infrastructures.

For more info from the release notes, read them here.

Workshop Quick Start Applications

Instead of creating one project at a time to build up an application structure, Workshop Quick Start Applications let you create multiple projects simultaneously. Project dependencies are created already in place, as is a WebLogic server configuration. For details see Workshop Quick Start Applications.

Download it now, and give it a try. If you are not a WebLogic Server customer, don't worry! We support other servers as well. Try the version without WLS.

• Looks like a great release in this year. It looks like new tool will support EJB3/JPA Stanards, all new Web Services Standards ( like JSR 250 ) , Web Services Security, Web Services Policies...Is it well integrated with even WebLogic Integrator Eclipse kit? Is there a plan for BEA Workshop 10.1 SOA Suite? Thanks Maneesh Innani Enterprise SOA Architect
