Eclipse

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 06:23:37 -0700

Version:
3.4

Description:

The Eclipse Project is an open source software development project dedicated to providing a robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, industry platform for the development of highly integrated tools. It is composed of three subprojects, Platform, JDT - Java development tools, and PDE - Plug-in development environment. The success of the Eclipse Platform depends on how well it enables a wide range of tool builders to build best of breed integrated tools. But the real vision of eclipse as an industry platform is only realized if these tools from different tool builders can be combined together by users to suit their unique requirements, in ways that the tool builders never even imagined. The mission of the Eclipse Project is to adapt and evolve the Eclipse Platform and associated tools to meet the needs of the tool building community and its users, so that the vision of eclipse as an industry platform is realized.

Version:
1.6.9

Description:

AMPC (Axiomatic Multi-Platform C) is a C compiler suite that generates Java Bytecode.

C compiler that generates Java Bytecode to be used on JVM enabled devices. Platform independence with C, the mainstream language for all seasons. The compiler supports separate compilation. Fans of the C language can now use C to program for the JVM.

Spices.Decompiler

Sat, 1 Dec 2007 06:19:15 -0800

Version:
5.4.2.4

News:

Version 5.0 is powered with Visual Decompiler to build code flow diagrams.

Description:

Spices.Decompiler decompiles/disassembles .Net assemblies from MSIL (MS Intermediate Language) binary format to well-formed and optimized source code (6 languages: MSIL, C#, VB.NET, Delphi.Net J# and managed C++). Spices.Decompiler completely integrated into Spices.Net and offers wide range of services to diplay or decompile to files any scope (Assembly, Namespace, Type, Method or selection of these scopes) of .Net assembly.

Xcode

Wed, 1 Nov 2006 17:31:44 -0800

Version:
2.4.1

Description:

Xcode is Apple's tool suite and integrated development environment (IDE) for creating Mac OS X universal binaries that run natively on PowerPC and Intel-based Macintosh computers. The IDE provides a powerful user interface to many industry-standard and open-source tools, including GCC, javac, jikes, and GDB. Xcode is designed to fully support the Carbon and Cocoa frameworks and Java. It contains templates for creating applications, frameworks, libraries, plug-ins, Java applications and applets, and command-line tools. Developers can use Xcode to construct a user interface, test code performance, and perform many other common development tasks.

JaCIL

Mon, 16 Oct 2006 00:38:42 -0700

Version:
0.7.0.0

Description:

JaCIL (pronounced "jackal") is a graduate capstone project to create a byte-code compiler to translate CLI binaries to binaries suitable for consumption by the JVM.

Both the .NET Framework via the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) provide for a managed, virtual execution environment for running high-level virtual machine code. As these two platforms become ubiquitous, it is of pragmatic and academic interest to have the capability of running CLI code on the JVM and visa-versa.

jBixbe

Fri, 15 Sep 2006 16:48:01 -0700

Version:
1.0final

Description:

When debugging Java applications the object-oriented aspect is often ignored. So it is difficult to determine which object is the currently active one.

jBixbe gives you a new innovative way to debug Java applications on the conceptual level of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) at which they are designed and makes it possible to find not only simple bugs but also weaknesses and insufficiencies in application design.

Jdec

Version:
1.1

Description:

The following are main features of jdec:

Sun, 9 Jul 2006 12:00:18 -0700

Version:
1.5.8g

Description:

Jad is a Java decompiler, i.e. program that reads one or more Java class files and converts them into Java source files which can be compiled again. Jad is a 100% pure C++ program and it generally works several times faster than decompilers written in Java. Jad doesn't use the Java runtime for its functioning, therefore no special setup is required (like changes to the CLASSPATH variable).

No secret that the Microsoft .Net technology after a few years of development became widely known, and a wide circle of developers uses this technology for creating more powerful and up-to-date programs. The 9Rays.Net company was familiar with .Net since first beta versions of this technology were issued, and has been developing a constantly enlarging set of tools for .Net developers named Spices.Net. This wide set of actual, powerful, and universal tools is unexpendable for protecting, research, modeling, and analysis of .Net software.

9Rays.Net has announced a new version of Spices.Net – the version 5.0, which will undoubtedly capture the hearts of wide audience of .Net developers and researchers.
