Headway Software’s Structure101 for Java has been named a finalist in the Design and Modeling category for this year’s Jolt Product Excellence Awards, the "Oscars" of the software industry. The Jolts are presented annually to "recognize the most innovative, trend-making, ahead-of-the-curve" application development products, according to DDJ's editors.

Structure101 was among hundreds of entries submitted in different categories. This year's finalists were selected by a panel of judges, comprised of well-respected editors, columnists and leading industry experts known for their insight into upcoming trends.

CMP Technology's Dr. Dobb's Annual Jolt Product Excellence Awards honor outstanding products that have "jolted" the worldwide software development industry, making the task of creating software more swift, simple and efficient. As the industry's most coveted award, finalists address not only the challenges prominent today, but also the most relevant emerging trends of the future. Winners of this year's Jolt awards will be announced at the Software Development Conference & Expo West on March 5 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara. More information is available at www.joltawards.com.

"Finalists in this year's Jolt awards, including Headway Software's Structure101, represent the most innovative and elite in software development products," said Amber Ankerholz, Conference Manager of Dr. Dobb's Events. "Our judges recognize that these companies are ahead of the curve, redefine their product space and solve problems that have consistently eluded other products."

"We set out from the start to build an outstanding product for understanding and managing software architecture. With literally hundreds of applications for this year's awards, it is a great pleasure to see Structure101 receive this recognition from the JOLT awards judging panel," said Headway’s CEO, Chris Chedgey.
