Metrowerks Announces Beta Release of New CodeWarrior 
Tools for the Java Card(tm) Platform

JAVAONE(SM) CONFERENCE, SAN FRANCISCO-June 4, 2001- Metrowerks today 
announced the first integrated development tool set built from the 
ground up to create applications for the Java Card(tm) platform.  The 
tool set will help accelerate the delivery of Java Card technology-based 
applications in key industries such as financial services, 
telecommunications, and government.

The CodeWarrior for Java Card tools will provide developers with a fully 
integrated environment for developing Java Card technology-based 
applications and will integrate with many of the industry's leading card 
readers and software development kits (SDKs), including those from 
Schlumberger, Gemplus and Oberthur.

"Sun's collaboration with Metrowerks, an embedded industry expert, helps 
provide developers with a robust, integrated tool set for the Java Card 
platform, " said Aisling Macrunnels, director of marketing, Consumer 
Technologies, Sun Microsystems.  "This tool set will enhance the 
development experience through improved efficiency in creating secure, 
innovative smart card applications and value-added services."

The CodeWarrior for Java Card tools will greatly enhance the process of 
developing Java Card technology-based applications by providing a 
simulation environment for developers to test and debug applications 
without the need to access the card reader hardware directly.  The 
extensible architecture of the CodeWarrior development environment 
enables Java Card technology licensees to easily integrate additional 
tool components.

"Metrowerks is committed to providing Java Card technology developers 
with the tools they need to create innovative applications for the fast 
growing smart card market," said John Smolucha, vice president of 
marketing, Metrowerks.  "Working closely with Sun, Metrowerks has 
delivered a consistent set of integrated development tools across 
multiple Java(tm) technologies, making it easy for developers to use 
CodeWarrior to target a variety of Java technology-based platforms and 
devices."

The beta program will begin later this month.  Participants in the beta 
program will have early access to the Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Java 
Card tools prior to release and will be asked to provide feedback to 
assist in the direction of the development effort.  For more information
