Features

Fully integrated development environment

Unlike standalone integrated development environments (IDEs), JBoss Developer Studio integrates and certifies both tooling and runtime components by combining Eclipse, Eclipse Tooling, and the JBoss Enterprise Platforms. 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.
