Nice to see a product use a browser UI and not a dreaded Eclipse plug-in.
We love Eclipse! So do many of our customers and some have already
requested a full-featured Eclipse plug-in for (E)JES. We hope to be able
to provide them with that during "phase II" of the roll-out. We want to
give our customers what they ask for, but I think the browser UI will be
more popular since only developers use Eclipse.
Speaking of Eclipse, we've written some ANT scripts to fully integrated
Eclipse (the free one, not IBM's _expensive_ RDz) with
mainframe-resident versions of Apache Tomcat, the Java and C/C++
compilers, and GIT (for source code management). With the push of a
button, a developer can obtain a code branch from the mainframe-resident
GIT repository, build it, create a unique execution environment on the
mainframe, and interactively debug his/her code running on the mainframe
from the desktop. It's very cool (and "cloudy") stuff!
Personally, I can't wait to have a mobile (E)JES client running on my
HTC One. Talk about a conversation starter!
Have you published your REST API so your customers can use it?
Not yet. The Sep 2013 deliverable was classified as a Technology
Preview. The REST API should be documented when the final rolls out.
Thanks for asking... :)
