[original email was from Steve Bate - [sbate@smart-trade.net](mailto:sbate@smart-trade.net) ]  
Smart Trade Technologies, provider of next-generation multi-asset  
matching solutions for the financial markets, and the QuickFIX/J Team,  
developers of the 100% Java open source FIX engine, announced the  
worldwide production release of QuickFIX/J, a pure Java implementation  
of the QuickFIX engine and the only full-featured open source Java FIX  
engine currently available.

This initiative allows a natural integration of the QuickFIX/J engine  
design with Java enterprise technologies, ideally suited for  
developing platform-independent FIX-related applications, tools and  
user interfaces. Smart Trade Technologies contributed to the  
QuickFIX/J project by providing programming skills, technical  
leadership and management resources. Smart Trade Technologies also  
uses QuickFIX/J to provide an out-of-the-box, enterprise-class FIX  
connectivity extension for its smartTrade Trading Platform (STTP).

“QuickFIX/J is a strategic component of our overall architecture to  
provide external FIX connectivity for our multi-asset matching  
solution,” said David Vincent, CTO and co-founder of Smart  
Trade. “This initiative is an integral component of the business  
strategy at Smart Trade to fully embrace the open-source community and  
push for the next-generation of trading technologies.”

“We have been very pleased with extremely positive response to this  
production release,” said Steve Bate, lead developer and initiator of  
the QuickFIX/J project. “We have actively built an open-source  
community around QuickFIX/J. With new users and development resources,  
we are expecting a rapid evolution of the product while leveraging  
existing standard Java APIs and open source technologies.” Bate is  
also head of research and development at Smart Trade.

According to Oren Miller, creator of QuickFIX, “I’m thrilled with the  
work done on QuickFIX/J and happily endorse it as a quality companion  
or alternative to the original. We have worked closely with the QuickFIX/J team to ensure compatibility with QuickFIX, swapping it  
into some of our own applications.”
