Butterflyzer is an integrated desktop application for exploring, collecting, cataloging and visualizing social media and related events. It shares features with browsers, media clients, and content management tools, but offers much more. It provides powerful analysis and curating capabilities like expensive web-based service providers, but with desktop performance and no vendor lock-in.

Not a typical use of Eclipse, granted, or even the most popular downloaded plug-in. But, Elastic COBOL is the first product that allows customers to migrate IBM mainframe CICS applications to the cloud! Although desktop installation of the plug-in is possible, a cloud-hosted Elastic COBOL provides "eclipse development-as-a-service"!

When the editor saves its content into the XML file, it also saves different kind of output files with help of handlers.

Provides automation of configuration needed for projects using pkg-config, such as GTK+ and gtkmm. Pkg-config utility outputs the necessary options needed to build a given package(s) that can be passed as compiler options.

Pkg-config support will set compiler and linker flags automatically that GCC needs to build selected packages - specifically includes, libraries, and some other GCC flags.

Save. Refresh. Enjoy. And stop redeploying in Java!

JRebel is a JVM-plugin that makes it possible for Java developers to instantly see any code change made to an app without redeploying. JRebel lets you see code changes instantly, versioning classes and resources individually and updating one at a time instead of as a lump application redeploy. When developers make a change to any class or resource in their IDE, the change is immediately reflected in the deployed application, skipping the build and redeploy phases and preventing an average of 5.25 work weeks per year in redeploys!

MaintainJ automatically generates UML sequence and class diagrams for a single use case. The sequence diagrams show the exact runtime call and data flow for a use case. They also show the runtime SQL calls made regardless of the database frameworks used. Users can dynamically explore the sequence diagrams and filter out unwanted details. The class diagrams show the dependencies between the classes involved in the use case.

There are two common ways to debug code. The first way is to use a debugger to check the state of the code at a given point in time and trace code execution. The second way is to use print statements (or more generally log files) to trace events when they happen. Zephyr proposes a third easy way.

Bracketeer is a multi-editor platform designed to answer common questions a developer asks himself when looking at the code:
