Curl is executing on the next phase in its Eclipse
strategy with the availability of the beta versions of the new
Eclipse-based Curl Rich Internet Application (RIA) development tools. The first
release of the Curl Development tools for Eclipse (CDE) and newest release
of the Curl Runtime Environment (RTE), Version 6.0.4, provide enterprise
developers with the tools to build and deploy their mission-critical,
enterprise-class RIAs within the increasingly popular Eclipse environment.
The CDE is a set of Eclipse plug-ins that provides an
environment for developing programs in the Curl language for the Curl RIA
platform. Curl recently
announced its intention to eventually replace all of its development tools
with Eclipse-based ones. The CDE and Curl IDE, the company's original
integrated development environment, will co-exist at least through the first
full release of the new Eclipse-based tools.
"As the first major step in implementing our Eclipse
strategy, we are excited now to provide Curl developers with access to the
universal Eclipse IDE," said Bert Halstead, vice president and chief
architect, Curl. "By combining the highest-performing enterprise RIA
platform, Curl, with the best general-purpose IDE, Eclipse, we are giving programmers
with an updated set of development tools."
The CDE is available for Windows, Linux and Eclipse 3.3 SDK
or any Eclipse-based IDE based on Eclipse 3.3. Major features in the CDE
include:
- Language sensitive editor
- Integration into the Eclipse debugger
- Language sensitive search
- Integration into the Eclipse workspace for Curl projects and
preferences
- Curl program deployment
- Tools such as a visual layout editor (VLE), VLE extension
editor, profiler, code coverage, class browser, inspector and Hypertext Transfer
Protocol Overview (HTTP) monitor
- Documentation
The beta version of the CDE and Version 6.0.4 of the Curl
RTE are currently available for download at: http://www.curl.com/download/cde/
The full release of Curl's Eclipse-based RIA development
tools are expected to be available during Summer 2008.
