Description Xavier Méhaut CLA 2002-09-13 08:05:48 EDT
Hello,
I would suggest to make a specific JDT which targets micro-java , embedded 
java, java-RT... ie an environnement more customized for these specific needs...
regards
Xavier

WebSphere Device Developper has support for embedded environments.

What precisely do you have in mind ?
Comment 2 Xavier Méhaut CLA 2002-09-13 10:55:20 EDT
I mean provide the right java libraries and specific tools for this kind of 
application , and especially for real-time purposes. Actually the work made by 
the Real-Time User group or the JConsortium have define strategies for process 
communication, for semaphores, garbage collection, and so on...
We can then imagine different tools like wizards for generating such patterns, 
checkers for real-time constraints, and so on....
regards

JDT/Core does not provide runtimes. So the libraries have to come from a 
different source. For the tools, then the library providers should offer them 
so as to ease deployment onto these.

Again, this is exactly what WSDD provides for embedded devices around the J9 VM 
(for all kind of platforms), also see http://www.embedded.oti.com/wdd/. Other 
vendors may also offer other flavors of tools.

These tools are built on top of JDT. The JDT/Core is VM-vendor agnostic.

Closing, I don't think this is relevant from a JDT/Core standpoint.

Yes, it is maybe outside the scope of this release. I wanted to focus on the 
fact that it could be good to have an entry edition to develop either mobile  
or embedded applications, espceially when we consider the next release (next 
month) of .NET framework which will offer a whole framework to build all 
purpose applications.
