And it's good advertising for them. I contacted Guidewire thanks to their blog posts here: http://guidewiredevelopment.wordpress.com/ http://guidewiredevelopment.wordpress.com/ and AKeefer's posts here at HN. Unfortunately for them (and me) my higher-ups at the insurance company I work for are clueless and stubborn and decided to go for a reinvent-the-wheel approach at three times the cost (our current insurance solution is based on Sun's Forte4GL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forte_4GL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forte_4GL which, while good at the time, has been abandoned many years ago, and has no support or good IDE) .
