AJAX Toolkit from IBM

Sys-con reports announcement of AJAX toolkit from IBM. The toolkit is now available as Open Source at Eclipse

IBM has announced that the a first build of the AJAX toolkit framework is
available for download. This is a continuation of the Open Ajax Initiative
which Zimbra announced last month. The Zimbra AjaxTk is a key part of this
initiative.

AJAX Toolkit Framework (ATF) provides extensible tools for building IDEs for the
many different AJAX (asynchronous JavaScript and XML) run-time environments
(such as Dojo, Zimbra, etc.).

This technology also contains features for developing, debugging, and testing
AJAX applications. The framework provides enhanced JavaScript editing features
such as edit-time syntax checking; an embedded Mozilla Web browser; an embedded DOM browser; and an embedded JavaScript debugger.

An additional and unique aspect of the framework is the Personality Builder
function, which assists in the construction of IDE features for arbitrary AJAX
run-time frameworks and thus adds to the supported set of run-time environments
in the ATF.
