On behalf of everybody at Metrowerks®, 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 for Java 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, PalmOS, PowerPC, MIPS, VxWorks, and Nucleus, among others. Go to www.metrowerks.com for more information about the CodeWarrior toolchain that offers the same powerful development environment for multiple languages, multiple targets, and multiple hosts.
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 and C++ class 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.
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:
