RevealNet and O'Reilly to Create Java Knowledge Bases
April 12, 1999--RevealNet, Inc., developer of knowledge-based solutions and
development tools, and technical publisher O'Reilly & Associates announced
today that the two companies are partnering to create Java knowledge bases.
This partnership will leverage RevealNet's already extensive integration of
similar knowledge bases and development tools for the Oracle market and
O'Reilly's position as the world's leading publisher of Java technical books.
"RevealNet and O'Reilly have collaborated on 'bookware' in the past, but this
venture is different--we're jointly developing a software product for Java
developers built on best-practice expertise," says Tom White, RevealNet
president. "The Java knowledge base will integrate expert technical content
with software delivery mechanisms that actively engage users in the process
of software development. It's a customizable software tool that will
deliver 'active knowledge' directly into the application development
lifecycle."
Working with O'Reilly's vast Java technical reference library, RevealNet will
deploy best-practice knowledge focused on solving the majority of Java
development requirements. Users will also have the ability to add, organize,
search, and customize the knowledge bases with site-specific technical
content, applets, and source code.
"Our customers have a definite need for the embedded knowledge bases
RevealNet creates, and this partnership is another indication of O'Reilly's
commitment to publish the best technical knowledge in the most cutting-edge
media," says Steve Jacoby, manager of corporate sales at O'Reilly. "RevealNet
Knowledge Bases complement all our other products and services allowing
Corporate Sales at O'Reilly to offer customers complete solutions for thier
information needs in a variety of mediums."
The first release is expected to be shipped early this fall.
