DDC-I Joins Eclipse Hibachi Project.New Initiative Will Unite Ada Suppliers in Common Environment and Extend Ada Ecosystem FAIRFAX, Va. -- DDC-I, a leading supplier of development tools for safety-critical applications, today announced that it has joined the Eclipse Foundation's new open-source Hibachi project. DDC-I, a founding member of the Hibachi Workgroup, will work closely with other project members to develop a common Eclipse-based Ada environment that can accommodate Eclipse-based Ada tools, application software, and other plug-ins from multiple suppliers. DDC-I will also work to provide Hibachi compatibility for its Eclipse-based SCORE[R]-Ada and OpenArbor mixed language development tools, which are optimized for safety-critical applications. Hibachi is a sub-project of the Eclipse Tools Project. Its mission is to develop an industrial-strength, vendor-neutral Ada integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment (IDE) that provides a benchmark for measuring all other Ada environments. The open Eclipse-based IDE will also serve as a platform for integrating value-added Ada plug-ins from other vendors, thereby enhancing and extending the Ada ecosystem. "We are very excited to have DDC-I participate and contribute in the Eclipse Hibachi project," said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation The Eclipse Foundation leads the development of Eclipse, the open-source Java application platform and IDE. History In 2003–2004 the Eclipse Consortium, an unofficial consortium of software industry vendors led by IBM, founded The Eclipse Foundation, a . "It is also an important statement of support for Hibachi that DDC-I will be supporting their commercial products on this platform." DDC-I is a long-time Eclipse member and a pioneer in the development of standard C, Ada, and Java tools and run-time platforms for safety-critical applications. DDC-I introduced the first real-time Ada debugger, the first validated 1750A Ada compiler, the first FAA-certified multitasking multitasking Mode of computer operation in which the computer works on multiple tasks at the same time. A task is a computer program (or part of a program) that can be run as a separate entity. run-time system (programming) run-time system - (RTS, run-time support, run-time) Library code and processes which support software written in a particular language running on a particular platform. , the first ANDF (Architecture Neutral Distribution Format) An earlier, proposed intermediate language for developing shrink-wrapped Unix applications from the OSF (later The Open Group). Ada 95 compiler, and the first compiler to pass Ada Conformity Assessment Test Suite The Ada Conformity Assessment Test Suite (ACATS) is the test suite used for Ada processor conformity testing. The preface to the test report includes the following: JSR J Sargeant Reynolds Community College (Virginia) JSR Journal of Sedimentary Research JSR Jump to Subroutine (6502 processor instruction) 302), whose mission is to create a subset of real-time Java suitable for safety-critical applications requiring FAA certification. "DDC-I looks forward to working with the Eclipse and Hibachi community to develop a common Eclipse-based Ada environment that fosters multi-vendor interoperability, simplifies mixed-language development, and makes it easy for safety-critical developers to combine our best-of-breed development tools with top-notch tools from other vendors," said Bob Morris, president of DDC-I. "We are committed to offering the industry's most advanced Eclipse-based compiler and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. technology for developing mixed-language Ada, C, and Java safety-critical applications." About the Eclipse Foundation Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on providing an extensible development platform and application frameworks for building software. Eclipse provides extensible tools and frameworks that span the software development lifecycle, including support for modeling, language development environments for Java, C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ and others, testing and performance, business intelligence, rich client applications and embedded development. A large, vibrant ecosystem of major technology vendors, innovative start-ups, universities and research institutions and individuals extend, complement and support the Eclipse Platform.
