JBoss Developer Studio

Features

Fully integrated development environment

Unlike stand-alone IDE's, JBoss Developer Studio integrates and certifies both tooling and runtime components by combining Eclipse, Eclipse Tooling, and the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. This ensures that all the various Eclipse plugins and their dependencies work together and all the runtime components and libraries work together. Furthermore, each plugin is matched to its corresponding runtime component. For example, JBoss Developer Studio ensures that the versions of JBoss Seam tooling, JBoss Seam, and all their various dependencies work together. And, JBoss Developer Studio ensures that all the JBoss Seam tooling and components work with other technologies, like Hibernate, and JBoss jBPM.

In addition to solving the complications of setting up a development environment, JBoss Developer Studio's, integrated development environment also makes upgrading to new technologies simple. When JBoss Developer Studio updates to a newer version of JBoss Seam, for example, Red Hat will test and update all the related components as well so as to keep a developer's environment working properly.
