With the beta version comes several product enhancements; these updates are designed to allow automated tracking of source and binary pieces of code, open source or commercial, that enter any project. These improvements enable open source creators to create and publish pedigree information and help developers to accelerate managed adoption of open source code, according to the company.
Key product enhancements now included in the beta release are: support for Eclipse's C Development Tool (CDT), now both Java and C/C++ are supported; administration is now streamlined with an enhanced GUI, complete with online help; the Global Intellectual Property (GIPS) database has been enlarged with millions of source lines and binary files; enhanced reporting format with interactive features; nested IP is now supported; and Enterprise Adapter (EA) functionality is also added.
Mahshad Koohgoli, chief executive officer, Protecode, said, "With this release, Protecode allows a wider range of open source developers to publish pedigreed software, and enables commercial developers to track the external content and manage the licensing attributes of all open source components in their project."
The company will showcase the beta version of its technology at Java One 2008 to be held from 6 May to 9 May 2008, in San Francisco, California. |
