Product Announcements Mingle CHICAGO, IL—ThoughtWorks, Inc. unveils Mingle, the company’s new agile project management application. Mingle enables IT departments to radically improve the management of agile projects by providing critical project intelligence for teams making real-time decisions based on agile metrics collected from everyday activities. The application supports software delivery by providing the entire team—from project managers to developers to business analysts—with a single place to share all project output. Mingle was developed by ThoughtWorks Studios, the product development arm of ThoughtWorks. ThoughtWorks creates a powerful application offering unparalleled flexibility. Rather than locking users into a standard ontology, users can customize terminology to fit their own approaches and cultures. Mingle also integrates all critical project information so teams can collaborate and document, track bugs, capture requirements, and link code to require- ments all in one place. Visit www.thoughtworks.com for more information. Milestone 2 PRAGUE, Czech Republic—JetBrains announces the general availability of Milestone 2, another step forward on the path to version 7.0 of its award-winning Java IDE (integrated development environment), IntelliJR IDEA. With Maven integration, access to the Groovy and Grails Plugin (JetGroovy), and the new visual Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM), Milestone 2 is worth looking into. The DSM is particularly interesting for anyone who wants to explore dependencies between program parts (modules, classes, etc.), letting you spot potential problems at the top level and then drill down to individual details. Features include: • Improved Java EE support • Enhanced Spring AOP, Hibernate, and JPA support • Better Hibernate-Spring integration • More flexible Version Control operations with ClearCase UCM and Perforce offline mode, plus improved change list management • Multiple new refactorings • Revamped project configuration with automatic Facet detection and upgrade from earlier versions For additional information visit, www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/ index.html?m2pr.
