IBM is committed to developing and supporting industry standards.
- IBM WebSphere and Eclipse
The IBM WebSphere Studio development environment extends Eclipse technology to a whole new level, integrating enterprise-level project management, advanced Java? development, visual editors, extensive Web infrastructure management, and Web services support, to name a few, within a flexible open architecture.
Eclipse Technology provides several common facilities that help tools vendors concentrate on their own special areas of expertise. Through an architected "Plug-in" environment, commercial and open source tools extend Eclipse technology such as team programming support, the workbench and its user interface, the help subsystem, debugging support and more. This new open-source framework is helping unify the software development industry and improving the integration of tools from multiple vendors into a multi-platform and multi-language development environment. Eclipse Technology also enables developers to customize the user interface to fit any function, format or style. This role-based approach to programming can lower time-to-deployment and boost return on investment.
Eclipse Technology provides a comprehensive set of functions useful to tool builders. Additional tools from IBM, IBM partners, Eclipse community members and other tools providers extend the power and scope of the development environment. The IBM WebSphere Studio development environment extends Eclipse technology to a whole new level, integrating enterprise-level project management, advanced Java? development, extensive Web infrastructure management, and Web services support within a flexible open architecture.

- XML
The XML Metadata Interchange Format (XMI) specifies an open information interchange model that is intended to give developers working with object technology the ability to
exchange programming data over the Internet in a standardized way, thus bringing consistency and compatibility to applications created in collaborative environments.

- Object Constraint Language (OCL)
OCL is the expression language for the Unified Modeling Language (UML). OCL was an
important aspect of IBM and ObjecTime Limited's previous proposal on Object Analysis
and Design. IBM's primary contribution to UML 1.1 is OCL.
- The OCL specification, submitted as part of the UML proposal to the OMG
- Download the OCL Parser
IBM has an OCL Parser, written in Java using the JavaCC parser generator. IBM is making this parser available for free to the object-oriented community in order to encourage the use of OCL with UML modelers
- Object Analysis and Design
IBM and ObjecTime's original contribution to OA&D.
