Ada Gets Eclipsed IDE

Sept. 20, 2004

It was bound to happen. ADA developers can now take advantage of the eclipse integrated development environment (IDE). Aonix's Ada Development Toolkit, AonixADT, integrates the Ada compiler support from the company with the open-source Eclipse project. Thus, developers can take advantage of a growing number of third-party plug-ins for the Eclipse environment.

The AonixADT includes an ObjectAda-compatible Ada compiler, which is an Ada-language-senstive editor integrated with an Ada build package. The Ada symbolic debugger comes with the editor.

The package supports self-hosted Windows development as well as cross-development versions for Linux and Solaris. Ada targets safety-critical applications.

The Aonix Ada Development Toolkit goes for $995 per seat.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
