Free JamaicaVM Plugin for the Eclipse IDE

A plug-in is available for the Open-Source development environment Eclipse which integrates the JamaicaVM tools into a powerful IDE. Currently the plug-in allows you to use JamaicaVM as a Java runtime environment in Eclipse, enabling you to develop and launch Java real time applications as easy and convienient as a normal Java programm. The required virtual machine installations are managed automatically by the plug-in after usable JamaicaVM distributions have been configured. Limited debugging support is contributed to the IDE, too. Eclipse downloads are available from the main Eclipse site http://www.eclipse.org. Choose the Eclipse SDK archive that matches your host platform and unpack it.
