How to achieve optimized Eclipse Development Environment?

Eclipse is the popular choice for the industry’s leading open source development platform for Java based software. Generally used by developers, who often work together and share information with other stakeholders such as business analysts, architects, project managers and testers. The increasing no of manifold stakeholders and their increased participation in almost all phases of software development lifecycle, it has indeed become quite a test to ensure a collaborative development environment for all the stakeholders irrespective of their geographic locations and roles. Additionally it’s never easy to rule out the provisions of adopting disparate ALM tools since more often than not they remain outside the scope of Eclipse environment! The niggling worry that troubles most enterprises is on ways and means to empower Eclipse developers to share information back and forth with other stakeholders from within their familiar Eclipse environment.

Enterprises should opt for such a solution that can ensure effective collaboration among the stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle, and also assist in synchronization among disparate Application Lifecycle Management tools. Furthermore enterprises should seek for such solutions that can be extended to other artifacts like requirements, design artifacts, test cases, tasks and defects originating from different ALM tools without leaving their preferred IDE. The idea is simple to use a single tool environment both for primary development jobs and collaboration with other teams. Such a solution can be of enormous help to any enterprise who are seeking for an enhanced platform for their developers to bring about a seamless integration between its established processes, tools and practices.

For an optimized open and seamless integration framework, a solution that offers all essential ALM services like collaboration, traceability, process automation, security, reporting and analytics are required that too in a single repository. Also such a solution can enable enterprises to make their lifecycle tools active participants in their overall ALM process as part of a Service-Oriented-Architecture (SOA). An SOA Integration based solution that has a plug-in architecture and can also talk to individual tools and can be integrated easily is the perfect solution for all those eclipse related issues. Such a tool can help any enterprise to create their own plug-ins for their home-grown tools using the same open service API.

An optimized plug-in solution for Eclipse Integration extends the Eclipse IDE with menus to connect to an organization’s TIDE (Tools Integrated Development Environment). Therefore such a solution will ensure that Eclipse users can easily connect to TIDE by using authentic user credentials in the Login dialog. They will also be able to have visibility into projects and artifacts (like – Requirements, Design items, Test Cases, Tasks and Defects). Such a solution will also allow developers to easy navigation that can provide them the options to view, update, add and delete items.
