Alex, I didn't know your company did PDM.  I thought you might be
interested in knowing that our product -- currently dubbed SRM (Supplier
Relationship Management) by market analysts -- has as a subset a "PDM-lite"
type functionality: BOM analysis, product info management, red-lining,
part/BOM change approval, etc.  Of interest is that it is written in Jython
(using Swing).  We used to do everything in C++, but now its all Java on
the server side with Jython/Swing for all desktop-based GUI's (and HTML for
some of the basic stuff).  I'm extremely pleased with our choice of using
Jython/Swing instead of pure Java/Swing for the UI stuff!  (And our
customers seem happy with the result, too!).
