of production-ready, modern applications.

Maven 3.0, DevAssistant 0.9.3, and a (now) fully supported version of 
Node.js 0.10.33.

In addition, Dockerfiles[1] have been made available for the most 
popular software collections, helping developers to rapidly build and 
deploy containerized applications.

Red Hat Software Collections can be used to develop applications for 
deployment on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the world’s leading enterprise 
Linux platform, and on OpenShift, the leading Platform-as-a-Service 
(PaaS), offering customers the ultimate flexibility and choice for 
development and deployment. In addition, customers can deploy 
applications built using Red Hat Software Collections into production 
with confidence as most Red Hat Software Collections components are
