Metallect Aids Cross Application Logic Visibility with Eclipse Server Plugin

Metallect Corporation has unveiled the Metallect IQ Server plug-in for the Eclipse platform, intended to help developers working within Eclipse conduct impact analysis and dependency mapping of application logic across all applications and supporting databases with integrated access to IQ Server.

With the Eclipse Plug-in for IQ Server, developers working within Eclipse can readily know whether there are any dependencies from pieces of the application they have not loaded into Eclipse, or from other Java applications not loaded into Eclipse, or from other applications or databases written in other languages.

The announcement came on the floor of the 10th Annual SOA Web Services Edge Conference, where Metallect CEO Guy Hoffman presented his thoughts on "What's MIA in SOA: How to properly move from current applications to SOA". "Automatic visualization of impacts and potential impacts of an application change from within Eclipse, across applications, technologies and databases, can replace time-intensive and unreliable manual processes. This automation and visualization dramatically lowers the risk of business disruption and associated costs due to modifications to an existing business process", Hoffman said.

"A growing number of developers within enterprises are utilizing Eclipse as their standard IDE, but their view is limited to the source languages supported by the Eclipse Platform and is static to the application source code they are currently working on," said Guy Hoffman, CEO, Metallect. "The IQ Server plug-in provides visibility and knowledge into the entire application infrastructure for analyzing application logic across technologies in order to conduct accurate impact analysis, map interdependencies, discover inconsistencies, and eliminate redundancy. The result is accelerated cycle- times and reduced cost related to application change management, while mitigating the risk of a potential business disruption."

According to the company, Eclipse users can utilize the new plug-in to conduct semantic searches across applications written in various languages, including COBOL, RPG, C#, C/C++, and more. The search can also reach into databases including DB/2, Oracle, Sybase, SQLServer, and more. Semantic searching enables rapid code location, finding similar functionally supporting reuse initiatives, locating logic in support of governance initiatives, and gaining fact-based knowledge of the inter-relations between applications at the logic level.

Eclipse developers can view a demonstration of the new Eclipse plug-in using IQ Server on a variety of open-source projects on Metallect’s website. The new plug-in is also available for download from the website.
