Conclusion
Overall, ObjectVenture's ObjectAssembler is a powerful tool available for a reasonable price, currently starting at $499. OA can shorten development time considerably by automating many processes, checking code for errors in real time, enforcing the use of patterns and simplifying the deployment and archive creation process. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who is looking to scale up their J2EE development efforts and looking for a new development environment. This product is in the same class as development environments that are at least 4 times the price.
