Aonix' New ObjectAda for Windows Release 7.2 Simplifies C++ and Java Component Integration.SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 1999-- Aonix, a leading provider of software development tools and consulting services, announced today the release of ObjectAda for Windows version 7.2, designed to provide software developers with an enhanced visual development environment with ActiveX control A software module based on Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) architecture. It enables a program to add functionality by calling ready-made components that blend in and appear as normal parts of the program. support, Java native interface (programming) Java Native Interface - (JNI) A native programming interface for Java that allows Java code running inside a Java Virtual Machine to interoperate with applications and libraries written in other programming languages such as C, C++ and assembly language. bindings, and powerful new debugging features for creating robust and scalable applications. Aonix's ObjectAda for Windows is the first Windows development environment conforming to the Ada 95 standard, enabling developers to build cost-efficient, reliable and maintainable systems for all Windows platforms. ObjectAda for Windows 7.2 delivers enhanced ActiveX control support that allows developers to import off-the-shelf ActiveX and OLE controls onto the GUI Builder Visual programming software that lets a user build a graphical user interface by dragging and dropping elements from a toolbar onto the screen. It may be a stand-alone program or part of an application development system or client/server development system. toolbar A row or column of on-screen buttons used to activate functions in the application. Many toolbars are customizable, letting you add and delete buttons as required. Toolbars may be fixed in position or may float, which means they can be dragged to a more convenient location in the , simplifying the process of creating applications. New bindings for the Java native interface also make it easy for developers to connect any of the available off-the-shelf Java-based components to native-based components. Any of these components can be written in Ada, or in other languages such as C++ or Java. Furthermore, new debugging features allow the examination and manipulation of a broad range of objects, as well as control of special Ada features. For multi-language debugging, developers can simply drag and drop A graphical user interface (GUI) capability that lets you perform operations by moving the icon of an object with the mouse into another window or onto another icon. For example, files can be copied or moved by dragging them from one folder to another. the executable into the Microsoft Visual C++ environment and begin debugging instantly. "ObjectAda for Windows 7.2 is a cost-efficient, fast and easy-to-use means for developers to create sophisticated and complex applications for the Windows platform," noted Dave Wood, product manager, Aonix. "And, ObjectAda for Windows is the first non-Java environment to generate Java byte code See bytecode. for the Java platform Running Java programs under the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Java "platform" refers to the running of Java programs versus Java itself, which is a programming language. Java programs are machine independent and run intact on any hardware platform that has a Java interpreter (JVM). . Its blazing speed, flexible and intuitive visual environment, and large array of specialty tools make it the Ada environment of choice for developing the most demanding applications."
