Products can't be under NDA - only people who signed NDAs can be under
NDAs. Products are incapable of signing contracts.
Also, I have signed no such contract. Therefore it ought to be legal for
me to talk about such a product whenever I want. Perhaps the original
poster was under NDA, but that should hardly affect the rest of the list
population. If Macromedia has a problem, they'll have to take it up with
whomever violated said NDA.

Please note that this product is still under NDA from what I know and those
who are beta testing it should not be speaking about it on the list.
Anything that is under NDA should NEVER be posted to the list. The last
thing we all need is a company coming down on us for 'breaking' NDA.
That being said, let me say that any 'press releases' like this should have
a header on the subject line announcing themselves as such.
WTF? What's going on here? Using a listserv to SPAM the entire CF
community,
and under the weak guise of a query into the viability of HomeSite? This
is
quite lame. I hope that Mike does not allow this to continue.

Subject: Is HomeSite Soon To Be History?
HomeSite is the best and most popular development tool around *but* is
extremely vulnerable to the fact that developers can no longer afford to
*not* also use a layout-page-code generator in conjunction with HomeSite
or
***as a total replacement*** to be 100% productive.
It seems Macromedia has not been as asleep at the wheel and I wonder what
the near future will bring...Consider this announcement from Macromedia...
Macromedia announces code name UltraDev at Internet World today.
What is UltraDev?
Designed specifically for application development, UltraDev is a brand
new product based on the Dreamweaver core architecture. UltraDev is
the first solution to support ASP, JSP and CFML within a single design
environment.
Once UltraDev ships it will allow you to:
1. Create professional web applications
UltraDev provides everything you need to build, manage, and deploy
dynamic, database-driven Web applications.
2. Maintain total control over code
UltraDev is the only product with visual and source editing for total
control over source code.
3. Connect easily to databases
Quickly connect existing, static web pages to any ODBC, JDBC, or ADO
database including Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server and
Microsoft Access.
4. View server-side data in the workspace
Save time and avoid repetitive tasks by viewing, testing, and editing
live data returned from the application server in your workspace.
5. Build for industry-standard servers
UltraDev is the only solution that lets you build ASP, JSP, and Cold
Fusion sites in one single design environment. Build sites for robust
industry servers like Microsoft IIS, Allaire Cold Fusion, IBM
Websphere, BEA WebLogic, and Netscape Enterprise Server.
6. Create robust enterprise-ready Web applications
Through extensibility, UltraDev integrates with other leading servers,
Web applications and e-commerce solutions.
UltraDev is NOT a replacement to Dreamweaver, it's a new standalone
product built on the Dreamweaver core architecture.
UltraDev IS the replacement to Drumbeat. Macromedia is not planning
to rev Drumbeat.
UltraDev is expected to ship in June.
