Supported Platform Configurations
for TopBraid Suite™ Release 3.3

TopBraid Suite (TBS) Platform Requirements:  Current releases of TBS  run only on platforms (and new releases thereof) that commercially support Eclipse 3.5.1, Flash 10, and compliant servlet containers (such as Tomcat) to run as fully tested production releases.  OS 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 is deployed as a servlet application and provides capabilities for integrating data from a number of data sources. 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.

* Please contact TopQuadrant at composersupport@topquadrant.com for information concerning other configurations meeting the general requirements.
