ForteTM for JavaTM 3.0 integrated development environment (IDE) was named "Best Java IDE" at the JavaWorldTM Editors' Choice awards ceremony on March 25th. During the judging process, JavaWorld publication author and judge Abraham Kang, security architect at Jamcracker, said, "Forte for Java really shows the benefits of JavaTM technology: functionality, beauty and cross-platform compatibility."

Forte for Java IDE is based on the NetBeansTM open source platform. "NetBeans is easily my favorite IDE. It works everywhere I want to work-- Linux, SolarisTM Operating Environment (Solaris OE) and Windows. With its open APIs, it is incredibly flexible," said James Gosling, father of Java technology and Sun vice president and fellow.

A tradition since 1997, the JavaWorld Editors' Choice Awards (ECA) honor companies, organizations and individuals for developing groundbreaking valuable tools that advance the Java platform. This year, vendors, readers and JavaWorld publication authors and editors nominated more than 200 tools and technologies in ten categories. From those nominations, an eight-judge panel of JavaWorld publication writers selected one winner and two finalists in each category. In casting their votes, the judges thoroughly evaluated the features and functions of each technology or tool and its influence on Java technology.
