MAINSOFT PRODUCTS Visual MainWin for J2EE™ is a cross-platform development and porting tool that enables IT organisations to move to open systems while preserving existing investments in .NET code and skills. Visual MainWin for J2EE integrates seamlessly into the Visual Studio® .NET development environment, enabling C# and Visual Basic .NET developers to rapidly develop and maintain server and Web applications that run on Windows, J2EE platforms or both, thereby reducing application development and maintenance costs, time-to-market and total cost of ownership.
Most C++ developers use the powerful Visual Studio® or Visual Studio .NET development environments to write their applications because they are easy to use and highly productive. However, their enterprise customers demand that the applications also run on UNIX®. The traditional method for cross-platform development to get these applications to run on Linux, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX and HP-UX is to port manually, a process which takes about 18 months for a typical application.
Using Visual MainWin® for UNIX and Linux® typically slashes this time to just six months! That's why companies like Microsoft, Siebel and Computer Associates use Mainsoft's Visual MainWin. It seamlessly plugs into Visual Studio software, giving them a clear competitive advantage in the race to develop functionality rapidly and get versions running on many different platforms to market very, very quickly.
