New JIEM Tool Release Planned for Fall 2007
The JIEM Tool will be available on the Eclipse platform Fall 2007!
While the current web-based JIEM Tool has proven to be a popular and effective requirements-gathering resource, consistent user feedback has demonstrated the need for functionality that will soon be available in the new Eclipse-based JIEM tool. This functionality:
- Improves the Tool's usability and efficiency
- Supports more rapid and inexpensive addition of new features in the future
- Requires no connection to the Internet, running locally on the user's workstation
- Allows for easier sharing of exchange models with other users
- Provides more robust support for XML and integration with other modeling and development tools
- Allows considerable user customization of the tool's look and feel
- Employs many "rich client" features that users experience in other modeling tools.
In this initial Fall 2007 release, the concepts or basic functionality enjoyed in the current web-version tool will remain constant. SEARCH will be adding new features (not currently available in the web-based version) to the tool in another forthcoming release planned for Winter 2007.
