The best and most innovative products in business rules management, AJAX toolkits, Java test tools, and more.
Fair Isaac Blaze Advisor 6.1 [Best Business Rule Management System]
Blaze Advisor 6.1's major enhancements include richer reporting and increased speed, and the newly incorporated Rete III algorithm enables it to surpass old rival JRules in performance benchmarks. Blaze still provides a wealth of tools for implementation, extensive debugging, and strong factory support. The improvements make it the top enterprise BRMS.
Sun NetBeans 5.5 [Java IDE Innovator]
NetBeans already had the most complete collaboration features among IDE platforms. This year it added important new modules such as Matisse, the most advanced Java GUI designer available today, and complete support for Java EE 5. NetBeans is likely all that developers of enterprise Java applications will need.
Parasoft Jtest 8 [Best Java Test Tool]
Jtest was already a great Java testing tool; now it's even better. Version 8 adds more pre-loaded rules and the new BugDetective analysis module for locating problems and identifying their origin. It takes on everything from unit tests to functional tests, and it does not limit your testing of any particular Java component.

Backbase 3.2 [Best AJAX Toolkit]
Backbase is a smooth, crisp collection of widgets with a nice, modern look. Coding amounts to dropping together XML tags to specify everything from the event routines to the layouts. Server-side support is tightly integrated with Java platforms such as JSF and Struts. Impressive tool, elegant results.
Dojo Toolkit [Best Open Source AJAX Kit]
Dojo has an excellent editing package, a wide selection of animating boxes, some drag-and-drop tools, and a slew of customizable widgets. It's a broad, deep, and well-packaged open source AJAX project, and it continues to improve as it attracts more developers with more ideas and code from other projects.
Adobe Flex 2.0 [Best Rich Internet Application Platform]
Adobe Flex 2.0 constitutes a big leap forward for this RIA platform, thanks to a new Eclipse-based IDE for drag-and-drop layout and code management, and a separate data services application for server-side messaging and data integration. Easy connections for Web services and Java objects bolster this very good choice for enterprise RIA scenarios.
