The ABCs of SNiFF+

• Analyze
  Extract and analyze the symbolic information of large and complex projects with thousands of files and over a million lines of code in seconds. Review your code without digging through endless listings or using inadequate text search tools.
• Browse
  Forget filenames and complex directory structures! Find your way with advanced graphical tools and powerful source code filtering. Simply double-click on any symbol to open the right file, at the right place, with your favorite language-sensitive editor.
• Comprehend
  Understand complex relationships within your code. Find where functions are called. See where variables are read from or written to. Discover how to reuse and reengineer your code. And, get new team members up to speed on sophisticated projects in a fraction of the time

Shorten your development cycles
SNiFF+, SNiFF+J and SNiFF+Cross will dramatically reduce the time you spend reading, analyzing and understanding code. You'll have more time to actually write code. Bug fixing is faster and easier since you see all the relationships within your software. Code reuse and reengineering are now real and not just promises. These and other benefits have helped our customers cut development times by 30%. And more.

SNiFF+J Specifics

SNiFF+J is the first multi-platform Java Source Code Engineering tool for large-scale, enterprise software development. SNiFF+J combines world-class source code analysis, browsing and comprehension capabilities with leading edge Java development tools and a GUI builder that shrink development time and dramatically reduce time-to-market.

Get up to speed fast with SNiFF+J and Source Code Engineering
Use the power of SNiFF+JÆs Source Code Engineering tools to increase productivity, cut development costs and dramatically reduce time-to-market. SNiFF+J Æs advanced code comprehension tools display source code relationships with clear, concise graphics. SNiFF+JÆs source code browsers support very large projectsùover one millions lines of codeùmaintaining team productivity when other tools break down.

Manage multi-language and multi-platform development with SNiFF+J
SNiFF+J makes it easier than ever before to understand, analyze, modify and manage large-scale, multi-language environments. SNiFF+J enhances development of enterprise-wide,  multi-tier applications, where parts of an application are written in Java and other parts in C/C++ or even other programming languages. SNiFF+J helps maintain legacy code while migrating subsystems to Java, preserving existing investments while slashing development time.

Build powerful, platform-independent GUI applications
SNiFF+JÆs easy-to-use and powerful GUI builder runs on any platform and generates 100% Java 2 code, enabling developers to develop anywhere and deploy anywhere. The point and click interface and graphical event hot wiring features reduce development time and eliminate most coding chores. The GUI builder generates 100% Java 2 code. The GUI is operational from the first click, thus the edit-compile-debug phase is eliminated. Fast and incremental prototyping using the visual layout editor gives instantaneous feedback on GUI layout, function and properties, dramatically reducing the development cycle .

Take advantage of the latest Java and O-O technology
Wind River is committed to supporting advancements in Java and object-oriented technologies. Use any JDK (including JDK 1.2) to stay current with Java technology. Accelerate Java development with JavaBeansÖ, JNI and RMI. Integrate Java projects with existing CORBA applications using C++ and IDL to support enterprise-wide,   multi-tier applications.
