SAN FRANCISCO -- June 6, 2000 -- Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ:CPWR) announced today at the JavaOne Conference that it is shipping NuMega DevPartner 2.0 Java Edition. This suite of software development productivity tools helps developers build reliable, high-performance e-business applications with Java technology.

"The DevPartner Java Edition tools are valuable for tracking down problems and speeding up the testing and debugging process, especially for multithreaded applications," said Larry Widing, Senior Software Engineer with National Education Training Group (NETg). "DevPartner Java Edition is sometimes the only way to find elusive bugs in my Java applications."

DevPartner Java Edition helps developers find problems with memory use, multithreading, code performance and test coverage that can have a dramatic impact on the stability, reliability and performance of Java applications. Using the DevPartner Remote Agent software on Solaris, Linux and Windows servers, DevPartner Java Edition provides developers with information on Java components used across all tiers of a distributed application. DevPartner Java Edition is the only development productivity suite that extends beyond Java code to support Web scripting technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, Java Server Pages and Active Server Pages.
