TopBraid Suite (TBS) Platform Requirements: Current releases of TBS run only on platforms (and new releases thereof) that commercially support Eclipse 3.5, Flash 10, and Java 6 compliant servlet containers (such as Tomcat) to run as fully tested production releases. Cross-platform support is dependent on the Target Environments supported by Eclipse, see details at
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=eclipse#target_environments.

CURRENTLY SUPPORTED PLATFORMS*

TopBraid Suite consists of three components TopBraid Composer™ (modeling and application development), TopBraid Ensemble™ (web application assembly toolkit) and TopBraid Live™ (enterprise application platform). The following tables show the list of currently supported platforms for each of these components and supported data stores.
