IBM Software Group © Copyright 2007 IBM Corp. ; made available under the EPL v1.0 3 Overview  The AJAX Toolkit Framework (ATF) is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for AJAX developers and an extensible framework for adding AJAX runtimes in to the IDE. It is an open-source project in incubation phase on Eclipse.  Provides Tools to develop any DHTML/AJAX application Tooling to facilitate use of various AJAX toolkits Tight integration with the existing Eclipse user interface and development paradigm  Targets AJAX Application Developers and Toolkit Developers  Aims to provide an ever-expanding set of high-function tools for AJAX developers  Multi-platform support  Windows, Linux x86, Mac OS X (New)
