Progress Software Corporation, a global provider of application infrastructure software used to develop, deploy, integrate and manage business applications, launched FUSE Forge, a collaborative environment for developing open source projects based on Progress FUSE products.

The Progress FUSE product line includes productized versions of Apache ServiceMix, ActiveMQ, CXF and Camel. FUSE components are standards-based, open source enterprise integration tools based on popular Apache SOA projects, and are productized and supported by the people who contribute to and influence the Apache projects. Progress developers lead these Apache communities and contribute to the development of the code.

The FUSE Forge is a web-based community that facilitates project management, communication, and coordination of integration infrastructure projects by providing a development environment complete with an integrated set of tools. In the FUSE Forge, developers can create and run a project, participate as a committer in one or more projects, and browse the growing library of components designed for FUSE. As part of Progress’ commitment to Open Integration, the FUSE engineering team has moved all internal development to the Forge.

In addition to the FUSE products, the FUSE team has added new projects to the Forge to help developers build and deploy FUSE-related infrastructure: FUSE Depot - a web-based tool for provisioning distributed applications on Apache Tomcat and FUSE ESB; RestMQ - defines an open, easy to integrate, loosely coupled, technology-independent and interoperable messaging protocol; Management - A set of FUSE management extensions using JMX and REST; and Actional Diagnostics - a closed-source solution, helps developers build, test and deliver Web services for SOA, REST and POX by reducing the complexity of XML to make testing easy and accessible early in the product life cycle.
