Enterprise Developer includes all of the functionality in WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition, plus:

Enterprise Developer can be used to implement Struts-based MVC applications using connectors and the Enterprise Generation Language (EGL).

The ability to connect components is the first step in modernizing the application portfolio of Enterprises. It supports creating and connecting Web applications to Enterprise business logic using the Struts-based Model-View-Controller framework and associated tooling.

Two other core technologies are integrated within Enterprise Developer.

￿WebSphere Studio Asset Analyzer (WSAA): Identifies application processes and connecting points, and provides the ability to generate components from existing code

￿Developer Resource Portal (DRP): Provides collaborative capabilities across the entire development process

Enterprise Developer addresses the needs of large Enterprises, providing a model based paradigm for building applications in a Struts-based Model-View-Controller framework. It provides a visual construction and assembly based environment supporting the implementation of Enterprise level applications, including support for the multiple developer roles and technologies required by those applications. Some examples of technologies supported are HTML, JSPs, servlets, EJBs, COBOL, EGL, PL/I, and connectors.
