IBM's Lotus Software unit is retooling its family of e-mail, messaging and collaboration software with a big dose of Java.

At its annual Lotusphere developer's conference this week, Lotus will announce plans to rebuild its technology to conform to Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), Sun Microsystems' specification for Java software built by Sun and other makers, such as Oracle, IBM and BEA Systems.

In doing so, Lotus will make its technology--from e-mail to instant messaging and videoconferencing software--available as components that can link to other software, said Scott Cooper, Lotus vice president of solutions.

Lotus' Notes and Domino software provide e-mail, calendaring and group scheduling. The product family also includes Lotus SameTime instant messaging software for businesses; QuickPlace, for creating a place on the Web for co-workers to interact and collaborate on projects; and Lotus Discovery Server, a content-search technology that allows workers to locate a variety of information.

Lotus' plan to re-engineer its software to support Java will allow businesses to make Lotus software available as a Web service. Cooper expects Internet service providers to offer e-mail, scheduling and other Lotus tools as a subscription-based service over the Internet
