The Java Studio Standard 5 update 1 (formerly Sun ONE Studio 5 update 1, Standard Edition) is a powerful yet intuitive Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Java, providing a comprehensive set of features and functionality which enables the development of applications ranging from desktop to standards based enterprise class applications and web services. New in this updated release of the IDE, which is based on the widely acclaimed NetBeans Platform, is the inclusion of a Model-View-Controller based application framework and associated tools. This accounts for vastly improved developer productivity, along with the IDE's superior performance and extensive features and functionality, supporting J2SE, J2EE, and Web service development. It also comes pre-configured with the Sun Java System Application Server 7 (formerly Sun ONE Application Server 7), which is the premier platform for developing and delivering J2EE based applications and standards based Java Web services.
