id="x21-30400019"></a>Using the REDHAWK IDE</h2>
<!--l. 1--><p class="noindent" >The REDHAWK <a
href="mainap11.html#ide">IDE</a> is a tool that allows developers to create, test, and deploy software for
REDHAWK systems. This tool is built on Eclipse, which is a generic, extensible <a
href="mainap11.html#ide">IDE</a> that allows
developers to add custom modules. The REDHAWK <a
href="mainap11.html#ide">IDE</a>, therefore, leverages all of the features
available in a bare-bones Eclipse <a
href="mainap11.html#ide">IDE</a> while also providing customized features specific to
REDHAWK development.
<!--l. 5--><p class="noindent" >For signal processing developers, the REDHAWK <a
href="mainap11.html#ide">IDE</a> provides graphical interfaces for the
auto-generation of <a
href="mainli2.html#glo:component">Component</a>, <a
href="mainli2.html#glo:device">Device</a>, and <a
href="mainli2.html#glo:service">Service</a> code in C++, Python, and Java. Built on top
of the Eclipse Java Developer Tools (<a
href="mainap11.html#jdt">JDT</a>), Eclipse PyDev, and Eclipse C/C++ Developer
Tools (<a
href="mainap11.html#cdt">CDT</a>), the <a
href="mainap11.html#ide">IDE</a> provides feature-rich editors for code written in any of the three languages.
In addition, a drag-and-drop environment for testing these modules and constructing them into
<a
href="mainli2.html#glo:waveformapplication">Waveforms</a> and <a
href="mainli2.html#glo:node">Nodes</a> is available.
<!--l. 9--><p class="noindent" >For system developers, the <a
href="mainap11.html#ide">IDE</a> provides an environment for deploying and maintaining
<a
href="mainli2.html#glo:application">Applications</a> onto fielded systems. Furthermore, the pluggable nature of Eclipse allows system
developers to add customized system user-interface modules.
