Eclipse Integration for Gears Software Product Line Development Tool
BigLever Software, provider of software product line development tools and services, has announced the availability of an Eclipse plug-in for its Gears software product line development solution. The new Eclipse plug-in enables Gears users to seamlessly integrate software product line engineering capabilities into their existing toolset across the product development lifecycle, said the company.
“For organizations taking advantage of the Eclipse platform, our new plug-in makes it easy to incorporate software product line capabilities into current development methods and processes,” said Charles Krueger, chief executive officer of BigLever Software.
According to the company, adding the patent-pending solution, Gears to the toolset in an Eclipse development environment, organizations focused on product development can create, maintain and evolve an entire software product line portfolio, across the full development lifecycle, as though it is a single product. The Eclipse integration for Gears is enabling BigLever customers to rapidly expand their product line portfolios with only fractional increases in time, cost and effort over developing a single product, claims the company.
