Version 2.1 released !
Hi all--
I wanted to let you know that version 2.1 of the Sun ONE Application Framework, a k a JATO, has just been released and is available for download. JATO is now a standard module in Sun Java Studio (formerly Sun ONE Studio), so in addition to all the Studio's features, you now get JATO as part of the full Studio package with no runtime licensing fees. Please download an evaluation version of Sun Java Studio 5 update 1, including JATO, here:
