Welcome to CodeWarrior(R) Professional for Java Release 5!
On behalf of everybody at Metrowerks(R), I'd like to thank you for
your purchase of CodeWarrior Professional for Java Release 5 and offer
you our full support in the challenges and opportunities of Windows, Mac,
Solaris, or Linux software development that you face.
This release of CodeWarrior Professional adds even more innovations and
refinements to the already-impressive suite of CodeWarrior software
development tools. And this release has practically everything you
will need to take advantage of your operating system's special features.
CodeWarrior Professional for Java isn't the only CodeWarrior product. Check out
our multi-platform CodeWarrior Professional or our CodeWarrior embedded
software development products for PlayStation,Palm OS, PowerPC, MIPS,
VxWorks, and Nucleus, among others. Go to <http://www.metrowerks.com>
for more information about the CodeWarrior tool chain that offers the
same powerful development environment for multiple languages,
multiple targets, and multiple hosts.
The IDE: Always Innovative
With this release you'll use CodeWarrior IDE 4.0. This newly updated
integrated development environment seamlessly combines a powerful source
code editor and browser, proven compilers and linkers, a sophisticated
project manager, an integrated debugger, and with this release, a
powerful rapid visual application development (RAD) support for Java
authoring all under one software roof.
Now you can create powerful interfaces for your Java applets using
Swing, AWT, and with our multi-language support in the RAD
architecture, look for other UI libraries such as PowerParts and
PowerPlant in future Metrowerks Products.
IDE Refinements
CodeWarrior Professional for Java Release 5 leads the pack again with new
libraries, headers, and examples for Windows and Mac OS development.
Some of the major enhancements for this release include:
