    M7® Launches NitroX 2.0 with
    Expanded Web Application Development Tools for Eclipse

    New Tools Provide Early Detection and Correction of Errors, Improve the
    Quality of Web Applications

    CUPERTINO, CA - December 13, 2004 - M7 Corporation, Inc., the
    leader in web application development tools based on open source and
    open standard technologies, today announced Release 2.0 of NitroX for
    JSP and NitroX for Struts. Included in this release are AppXaminer™,
    AppXnavigator™, and AppXplorer™ new innovative tools based on
    M7's exclusive AppXRay™ technology that provide developers with
    essential information about their web applications throughout the
    development process.

    AppXRay analyzes and maintains a database of web application
    dependencies, and is unique in that it does so over all layers and
    across all artifacts of the J2EE, Java Server Pages and Struts web
    application architecture. These new tools provide visual diagrams,
    navigation across related artifacts, and logical presentation of these
    artifacts to make it easier for developers to understand the complex
    relationships, identify problems, and understand the impact of changes
    in real-time during the development of their web applications.

    Release 2.0 New Development Tools

    AppXaminer Provides a navigable diagram showing the web application
    artifacts and dependencies.
    Automatically highlights inconsistencies and makes it easier to
    understand the complex relationships in a web application to determine
    the impact of changes.

    AppXnavigator Extends the hyperlink style navigation for Java in
    Eclipse to all the related artifacts in a web application reducing the
    effort required to open related artifacts.

    AppXplorer Provides an Eclipse Explorer view of the web application,
    based on logical groupings so locating artifacts is simpler.

    Visual Editors
    · Tiles Framework
    · Tag Library Descriptor
    · Struts Validation Framework
    These editors hide the complexity of the underlying implementation by
    presenting a high level form-based editor from which the implementation
    source code is automatically updated. Developers can work directly in
    the source code, with incremental consistency checking automatically
    performed in the background to provide instant feedback about any
    coding errors that may occur.

    Standards Support · JSP 2.0
    · Struts 1.2 Plain Old Java Objects (POJO)
    · Hot deployment of Struts and Struts Tiles Configuration Files
    · Eclipse Debugger Display, Inspect and Execute Commands for JSP
    Debugging

    "The problem with most development tools is that they are unable to
    detect inconsistencies across various layers, for example between a JSP
    and the server code it references, before an application is
    deployed," said Andy Simmons, VP Marketing and Product Management at
    M7 Corporation. "The new tools in NitroX provide instant feedback to
    developers as they edit their web applications, reducing errors and
    eliminating much of the manual effort required to assess the impact of
    changes they need to make. The end result is a higher quality
    application with fewer obscure errors that need to be debugged after
    deployment when customers discover them."

    While continuing to provide more automation for understanding the
    complex relationships and multiple languages used in web applications,
    NitroX Release 2.0 is designed to make web application development
    easier for both novice developers and experienced professionals. NitroX
    helps to ensure that the resulting applications are higher in quality
    and cost less to produce and maintain.
