Blu Age Corporation Announces New Model Driven Tool M2Spring for Spring Community

DOVER, Del., October 20, 2009 -- BLU AGE Corporation, a Netfective Technology Group company and developer of agile model driven development software workbenches, today announced a partnership with SpringSource, a division of VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) and the leader in Java application infrastructure and management.

The partnership combines Spring, the de facto standard programming model for enterprise Java applications, and BLU AGE’s M2Spring application modeler and generator to offer to the Spring developer community an integrated environment to speed the development of enterprise Spring applications.

“Given the increasing popularity of the ubiquitous Spring framework, BLU AGE decided to dedicate one of its model-to-code products to the Spring community offering it a powerful model driven tool to boost Spring application development,” says Christian Champagne, CEO of BLU AGE Corp. “The partnership with SpringSource enhances the synergies between the flexibility of Spring and the agility of M2Spring.”

M2Spring is a combination of best-of-breed model driven technologies. It combines the MagicDraw® UML Modeler and BLU AGE automatic application generator, offering an integrated environment for UML model elaboration, execution and automated transformation into Spring applications. With M2Spring, software, developers and business analysts can dramatically improve their productivity and agility.

"Model driven development has natural parallels with the Spring framework, the most popular framework for application design in enterprise Java,” says Mitch Ferguson, senior director of alliances for the SpringSource division of VMware.  “By partnering with BLU AGE to bring their outstanding tools to the Spring developer community, we are further increasing developer choice, flexibility and productivity.”

BLU AGE is a gold sponsor of the upcoming SpringOne 2GX conference being held October 19-22, 2009 in New Orleans.  SpringOne 2GX is the premier Java event for 2009 and includes a technical exploration of the Spring ecosystem along with the latest developments in the Groovy and Grails space.
