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.
