Borland buys Triangle-based TogetherSoft.
As Ed Savage wrote on the Triangle JUG mailing list: this is big news. According to the <a href=
"http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/stories/2002/10/28/daily39.html">Business Journal article, Borland is paying $185 million in a combined cash and stock deal.
Borland has been on a bit of a shopping spree lately. They recently bought StarBase which gained them the StarTeam issue tracker/source code control system and the CodeWright editor.
At the Eclipse meeting last night, I noticed that both TogetherSoft and Borland are on the Eclipse steering committee. Will Borland stop TogetherSoft from rehosting inside Eclipse or is Borland considering rehosting all of it's various IDEs and dev tools inside Eclipse? Will Borland help IBM make Eclipse into the universal multi-language tools platform?
