Aonix® ObjectAda 8.2 Boasts More Language Support and Dynamic Debug Capabilities

Linux® support delivered to meet customer demand

Embedded Systems Conference, Boston, MA, September 12, 2005

Aonix®, a provider of solutions for safety- and mission-critical applications, released the latest version of the ObjectAda development environment, targeting Linux as the first supported operating system. In addition to supporting an Eclipse-based development environment targeting mission-critical software solutions, ObjectAda 8.2 integrates a number of product enhancements. With a newly developed capability to attach the symbolic debugger to a running Ada application, ObjectAda has become especially useful for situations in which programming errors do not surface until after the test and debug phase of development has been completed.

ObjectAda 8.2 is the first ObjectAda release where developers can choose between the traditional Aonix IDE for development and the new AonixADT™ Eclipse plug-in. AonixADT incorporates Ada-project awareness, an Ada-language sensitive editor, Ada-language compile and build capabilities, and a complete Ada debugger interface, enabling Ada developers to enjoy state-of-the-art interface capabilities geared to maximize developer ease and efficiency. By delivering the powerful combination of Eclipse and best-of-class Ada technology, Aonix provides a modern and robust development environment that increases developer productivity. Since AonixADT is based on Eclipse, this same integrated development environment also supports development with the Java, C, and C++ languages.

“Aonix has a long-standing reputation of supplying high-quality development tools based on industry accepted standards,” said Jacques Brygier, VP Marketing of Aonix. “Increasingly, our Ada development customers require large-team access to broad ranges of integrated development tool technologies. By basing AonixADT on the popular open-source Eclipse development environment, Aonix maximizes the ease with which the various best-of-breed technologies can be integrated.

ObjectAda® for Linux comes with both a graphical and command-line interface, integrated language-sensitive editor, lightweight source-based library model, and industry leading compilation speed. The ObjectAda for Linux compilation system is composed of the editor, source-code browser, compiler, debugger, and full library manager.

In addition to the basic compiler development package, the ObjectAda Project Pack contains the Ada-ASSURED advanced editor that provides additional language-sensitive features and style-guideline conformance checking. ObjectAda Project Pack also contains the AdaNav™ toolset, which provides complete system HTML source-navigation capabilities as well as call- and unit-tree graphical reporting and automatic data dictionary generation. To improve program performance, the AdaNav profiler provides run-time performance reporting to identify application hot spots.

The ObjectAda 8.2 family has many other products currently in development. Scheduled for release over the next several months are ObjectAda for Windows®, ObjectAda Windows for Intel®x86/ETS™, ObjectAda Linux for PPC/LynxOS®, ObjectAda Solaris™ for PPC/LynxOS, ObjectAda Windows for PPC/RAVEN™, ObjectAda Solaris for PPC/RAVEN and ObjectAda Windows for PPC/VxWorks®.
