Aldon [2], a provider of application-management solutions, announces Aldon Lifecycle Manager plug-ins for Eclipse. Aldon Lifecycle Manager supports complex multitier, Web-centric and service-oriented architectures (SOA), as well as application development across Windows, Unix, Linux, OpenVMS, z/OS, i5/OS, and OS/400 operating environments. The plug-in also supports major programming languages and IDE perspectives, such as Java, C#, C++, Cobol, Remote Systems Explorer, and Java Package Explorer. Because Aldon is implemented as an Eclipse Team Repository, Aldon users can choose any IDE compatible with Eclipse Team Repository.
