Prosyst Plugs Into Eclipse, Borland JBuilder IDEs

Cologne, Germany -- To shorten the development time network-based services and applications, ProSyst Ag has developed OSGI plug-ins that can be addedto, and extend the functionality of, two Java-based development environments: Borland's JBuilder and the open source Eclipse IDE..

The OSGi alliance specifies a Java-based service delivery platform that allows service-providers, gateway operators, device and car manufacturers to deliver, deploy and manage network-based services in a standardized and cost-effective manner. Using the ProSyst plug-ins, the development of such services - known as OSGi bundles - is highly facilitated allowing development time to be reduced.
The ProSyst's innovative OSGi plug-ins include wizards and tools for the automatic generation and editing of the bundle skeleton, its bundle activator and the Manifest file. All bundle properties, such as bundle name, classpath, native code, import and export packages and other dependencies are visible and can be set. Code generation facilitates most common bundle operations, such as the reception of service references, the registration of service implementations, the addition of service listeners and many others.

In addition, the OSGi plug-ins allow the remote administration of a gateway framework, as well as the direct installation of bundles on a target platform. Using plug-ins such as these, bundle developers are able to connect from and within their development environment to any framework that is designed to be OSGi-compliant, such as ProSyst's certified mBedded Server.

For software developers who have not yet settled on a particular Integrated Development Environment, such as JBuilder or Eclipse, ProSyst offers its own IDE mBedded Builder, which incorporates not only the OSGi extensions, but also supports a broad variety of other features such as Team Work Development, Debugging, Profiling, Testing and many more.
