CollabNet Releases Distributed Software Development Solution Native to the Eclipse IDE

CollabNet, the primary sponsor of the Subversion open source project and provider of collaborative software development solutions, has announced that it is releasing the first ever development platform which enables distributed software development in a native Eclipse environment.

CollabNet Desktop, Eclipse Edition allows software engineers to collaborate globally using CollabNet Enterprise Edition as a backbone to centrally track and manage the lifecycle of all source code and project tasks and assets.

In a February 2007 research note by Gartner titled “Key Issues for Application Development Tools: Life Cycle Management Tools,” the analyst firm states that companies will “need to match their development styles and needs to strategies that achieve an appropriate balance of ALM discipline and control, while avoiding overly rigid and restrictive processes and practices.”
Enterprises and developer communities that run on the CollabNet platform can now leverage the integration between CollabNet and Eclipse, said the company. The CollabNet Desktop and related plugins for Eclipse are freely available at http://eclipse.open.collab.net or on the Eclipse website.

“CollabNet makes it faster and easier for developers to use the most advanced development tools available, in powerful synergies, without spending their own time building and configuring disparate tools,” said Jack Repenning, CTO of CollabNet. “Developers who are more productive improve software quality and customer satisfaction. At the same time, the enhanced flow of more-reliable planning information enables project managers to plan and resource their projects more accurately, adding further customer value.”

Features of the CollabNet Desktop, Eclipse Edition include:

The use of the Eclipse Mylar task-focused UI to update and synchronize project tasks, issues, or artifacts that are tracked and stored in the CollabNet development platform. These tasks are automatically synchronized with the Subversion based source code trees in Eclipse as well as the CollabNet’s repositories for project tasks.
The use of Subclipse to version and synchronize Subversion-based code hosted in the CollabNet environment.
The ability to directly search on openCollabNet, to find product extensions and community resources valuable to the Eclipse software developer.
Direct integration within Eclipse to CollabNet Enterprise Edition to allow collaboration on project tasks and artifacts throughout the software application life cycle.
A web interface for CollabNet’s CUBiT global virtualization solution which allows Eclipse users to automatically load and build their software application using any industry build and test environment onto a dynamically provisioned physical or virtual server located within a pool of globally accessible servers.
