NEW YORK, July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Improv Technologies, a software infrastructure company, today announced that it has joined the growing number of tool vendors building extensions to Sun Microsystems' Forte(TM) for Java(TM) integrated development environment (IDE). Improv's Cirquet(TM) Platform, combined with the Forte for Java product, enables developers to more easily create, deploy and manage custom applications across a distributed peer-to-peer network.

By integrating with the Forte for Java IDE, Improv's Cirquet Platform will make it easy for developers to create ``smart'' Java language components that can be deployed across a peer-to-peer network, downloaded on an as-needed basis and dynamically assembled at run-time to create custom applications. Without significantly changing the way developers work today, Cirquet and the Forte for Java IDE together will help enable developers to build and deliver customized solutions at significantly reduced costs.

``Combined, Cirquet and the Forte for Java product give developers a powerful set of tools to build, deploy and manage distributed applications,'' said Zachary Julius, Improv Technologies chief executive officer. ``Improv sees a great opportunity to reach a large community of developers by aligning with the Forte for Java product, one of the most widely available IDEs on the market today.''

``Improv's Cirquet Platform is a breakthrough for organizations concerned about deploying and maintaining highly distributed applications in a production environment,'' states David Taber, director of portal and business development, Forte Tools, Sun Microsystems. ``The Cirquet Platform, used in conjunction with the Forte for Java IDE, helps simplify the complexities of managing distributed development and peer to peer computing.''
