Changes

At RUC(Rational User Conference) 2006 recently, IBM announced a new Rational server-side collobrative initiative codenamed "Jazz", based on the Eclipse/OSGI framework. It is essentially similar to [[Microsoft Visual Studio Team System]](MVSTS) to engage Rational and other IBM software components at higher level in the technology stack as a middleware, with market added value. In this paradigm, Rational tools like Rational RAD, [[ClearCase]], [[ClearQuest]], [[TestManager]] and [[Lotus Notes]]/IM, for example, would be unified as some sort of "plugin" grafted onto the Jazz service bus via Web services, exposing it as a developer tool "portal". The main use of this portal is a one-stop shop for a developer's activities associated with typical development processes. Other third-party tools or open source tools are envisioned to be pluggable onto Jazz via some standardized service interfaces. Both Eclipse and Web versions of Jazz are planned.
